Making Credit Cards Safer
By Mindy Johnson in General
So why can't we make credit cards safer to use and prevent fraud and theft?
Why can't a credit card have to be used with a driver's license number?

It's not impossible, let's make it so a sale would have to have that driv lic number as its code to go through.
When you swipe it, enter the driver's license number, just as you would a pin...
and if  you are using it with a clerk, they'd have to check your license and key in the number.

That, to me, would prevent many credit card theft and protect many people.

"They already have something in place."
Sure, you can write "see ID" on the back.  You can have your picture on it.
But when do stores EVER check that?
Almost never.
But to have to SEE something and actually KEY it in.
Hmm.

Amen. They make credit card theft so easy for people. Cards are stolen and no proof is asked for from a thief using card. Yet the people who become victims end up taking months to prove who they are and trying to win their case. Doesn't make sense.
