I've heard of this happening but never experienced it myself....until yesterday.
After filling up my truck with gas I went inside to pay the attendant with my oil company credit card. I had just received a new card and had not signed the back yet. The clerk reminded me that it needed a signature, so I took my pen and signed it, and gave it to her to process.
She handed me the printed receipt, which I signed. She then held up the card and the receipt to see if the signatures matched!
No, she wasn't blond...or young.

If lost or stolen, it makes it easier for the next person to use it by practicing your signature. Let's face it, us old brush guys would make excellent forgers.

50 plus years ago...Go with my dad to the lumber yard. He loads the truck up with 2 x 4's and a couple of bags of cement. Yard man writes him a ticket for 80+ dollars. Inside we go to pay up. Kid I went to school with is at the cash register. Big time High School football player. Dad gives the kid two fifty dollar bills. Kid puts them in the register and starts to count back the old mans change. Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty and x cents. Dad looks at me...I look at Dad. Dad explains to kid that he gave him back the amount of the ticket not the amount of the change. Puzzled look on the kids face...I swear to this day that he actually scratched his head. Takes a pencil and subtracts the 80+ from the hundred on paper. Reaches into the register and hands my Dad $19 and change. Looks him in the eye and says, "Sorry about that." My Dad is beyond flabbergasted and takes the money, walks to the office which is off to the side and explains to the owner, whom he has done business with for years, what happened. Owner takes the the $80+ and says to my Dad, "Gonna have to keep an eye on that nephew of mine." Out the door we go, and my Dad gives me a line I have used too many times since..."Size 48 jacket, size 3 hat."

Ray, She just got back from a VISA card security seminar.. They teach em how to be card police in them classes.
They claim they want the back of the cards signed because,, without a signaure there is nothing to forge.
Your card is signed,, and a crook uses it,,, then he commits forgery.. Hmmmm,,,
