thanks for the amex serve card info
also if his card was declined due to not having a chip, why would making a cardboard card fix that
Isn't this technically counter fitting a card? even if it is his they could theoretically nail him for this right?
I love how the guy at the end is just like "sure whatever" to him using that.
[QUOTE=windwakr;49795503]So, the Coin would be considered "counterfeit" too to you?
[/QUOTE]
Well technically it's not the card issued to you, so it could be considered a counterfit. It would be just as easy to put someone elses card on that as yours. However, a guy literally cutting a piece of cardboard and faking his own card info on a vhs tape is almost exactly what someone who was counterfitting someone elses card would do.
Also you don't have to be a dick about it. I just asked a question.

It doesn't matter considering coin works once and then never works again
I really hope that guy didn't post a video with a non-expired card track1/2 to youtube.

most credit card verifiers also require the user's current living address too as the billing address
I would like to point out that the Magstripe reader he used is NOT just a magstripe reader. The price difference between a unit that can only read cards (80% of the stuff out there) and a unit that can also WRITE track data back to the cards is around $120-$500, depending on the brand.

I don't think there is any legislation against simply cloning a credit card - there's no real reason for it to be considered counterfeiting because cloning a credit card you own is not malicious. Creating a credit card without legitimate account information on it, on the other hand, is pointless. Credit cards only contain account info, not balance or anything like that so there is no way to fool a transaction machine. If there is not a legitimate account on the card to provide funds for the transaction, the transaction is declined.
If however someone creates a fake credit card with real account info that is not their own, that constitutes fraud.
I'm sure there are rules against cloning cards in credit/debit card terms of service, but the worst that can happen is your account gets closed and the more likely punishment is they simply ask you to stop.

There is. Duplication, mutilation or modification of an issued card is grounds for Termination of Service with immediate payment of due credit. Even my transit pass has that in the terms and conditions.
