With all of the problems with people stealing credit card information I cannot believe Walmart has started a new policy.
Last year some scam artists walked right into our local Walmart put in all new credit card swiping machines and stole everyones card and PIN numbers.
I went into Walmart yesterday and they no longer require a PIN number for a debit or credit card purchase in any amount. New corporate policy they say.
I am a big fan of PIN numbers and zip codes (like some gas stations require). It isn't much but at least it is something.
So I guess I am not only warning people, but informing the bad guys: If your card is stolen, Walmart is going to be the first place they will be going. No PIN numbers, no signatures, no other ID required.
UNBELIVEABLE !!!
