I am trying to avoid potential rip-offs but this is something I am seeing more and more in my neighborhood. Local businesses are wanting to "imprint" my credit card without an actual credit card imprinting machine. These businesses are asking their delivery drivers to obtain this manual "imprint" of the credit card to prove I actually have the card.
I do not feel this is legal since they are not using official means of obtaining the credit card and feel my information is being tossed around. I have refused to allow them to imprint my card and advised next time they want to imprint my card they need to bring an imprinting machine with them. Does anyone know if there are laws or regulations about this? It sounds like a unprofessional practice to me...
