True, but contactless makes it a lot easier, and it's not just an Amazon problem. A few years ago, the large company I worked for put one of its call centres up for taking calls for donations to Red Nose Day. I volunteered for the call taking team, and we took plenty of money that night. The two largest single donations were £900, which I took, and £1000 which a colleague sitting near me had. The system that was used did NOT require the 3-digit code from the back of the card. I find it very scary that amounts of this size can be taken without this. I find it worrying that *any* amount can be taken in this way. -- Ria in Aberdeen [Send address is invalid, use sipsoup at gmail dot com to reply direct]
