Slowly Trinidad will revert to a cash based system ..

Too much tax and too much fraud .

i wouldn't blame the company for this as it was the delivery person who perpetrated the fraud. its a shame though as they were trying to make it easier to pay for your packages with the mobile linx machine. people does ruin everything hoss.

So if a Bank does not invest in security for it's customers and an employee steals your money or credit card ?

The Bank is NOT responsible ?

Invest more in technology ..

Do you know that a lot of information from credit cards etc., are "leaked" to criminal gangs ?

Also your other information.

A good start would be that all debit and credit cards should be Chip & PIN technology. Where are the bank's continual increased rates going if they can't provide this one technology to customers in TT that is basic everywhere else?


Good read on what security EMV offers:

Most business do not care about security ..
Just the money they are extract from your credit card etc.

Hence limited security .

Or none.

Use local products or
Do without outside brands
For instance don't buy anything online
Eat local only
And make what you have do
The system is designed to make you want what you cannot have

Why pay for items you don't need

Where your experience with online purchase will lead to an additive buying and irrelevant spending

If we " cloning " debit cards in Trinidad ..

We in big trouble

But maybe Tuners do not have debit cards or credit cards

Or maybe just a few.

It's only a matter of time before all cards are chip + pin in Trinidad.

banks are testing at the moment (with LINX at least)...roll out should start soon. ECU as well is going chip + pin in a few weeks (before the banks).

Card users too reckless and lazy....it's very easy to protect yourself from skimming. ALL debit and credit card issuers will educate you for free if u ask.

It's Credit card skimming ..

Shimming comes from the word "Shim"

Shim are Tuners like matrix, Japan, maj tom, randull, 88, sometimes K742T etc.

I wont lie. This has to be the most stupid, baseless, foolish, archaic and irrelevant statement I have EVER heard in a while.
I have no many questions, but they say don't argue with fools.
