Yes, some 15 years ago in London, the cabbie who picked me up in Airport took out the imprinter and literally swiped the card when I told I need to pay by card. I was shocked and curious as that is the first and only time I have seen that. Otherwise, they generally have IVR number to punch in card details for payment.

First time I saw this and read about it. Spending/overspending money has become lot easier these days.
My card was swiped by an imprinter at a shady place in Bangkok many years ago. I did keep a close watch for any unexplained transactions for a few months thereafter.
Yes, my Dad had the BOB card in 1992. I used to go with him while visiting any departmental store and getting the vouchers imprinted. Apna Bazaar, Sahakari Bhandaar, Shoppers Stop etc.
ha dekha tha, smjh na aaya 🤣 🤣
Pehele card rakhte the jisme Name, expiry emboss hoti thi. Phir us pe carbon paper wala voucher (slip rakhte the). Phir wohandle ko uske upar move karte the jise card ke details voucher pe imprint ho jata and then they gave you that slip. At the end of your shopping you presented that slip and they wrote the total and you signed it. A copy was also given to you 🙂
ab smjh me aaya 90%
eesse to aapna card number public ho jata hoga?
Edit: Saw uTube vido, aagaya smjh me, ab to tech takeover kr diya - just tap & pay.
Pehle aise cloning ka bhi chakar nahi tha plus online shopping bhi nahi.
Woh signature match karte the on voucher, with signature behind card. Isliye card ke piche signature karne ki pratha start hui. That is why it is written that card not valid without signature 😀
