I am going to have to research my credit card machine info, had no idea about this one. I never ask for an ID, but every retailer asks for mine!!!!!
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Banking/CreditCardSmarts/9BigCreditCardMyths.aspx Myth No. 3: Merchants may require identification, such as a driver's license, when you pay with a credit card. Merchants' agreements with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover specifically forbid them from requiring identification. Your signature is supposed to be enough. Furthermore, merchants' contracts with Visa and MasterCard are supposed to prevent them from even asking for ID. American Express and Discover don't prohibit asking but strongly discourage it. Merchants typically ask for ID because they're trying to reduce their own fraud costs. But if a clerk memorizes or writes down vital information from your driver's license -- your address or date of birth, for example -- you're the one who could be at greater risk of identity theft. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
