I purchase some products in the Washington, DC store and later discovered on my receipt that this store print your whole credit card number on the receipt. Which this is in voliation of your privacy actas well as credit card theft or fraud. I will not be shopping there anymore because of this practice, their corporate office need to immediately fix this problem before there is a big lawsuit that would not be pretty. Please tell anyone that you know that purchase anything by credit card to check their receipt.

Although that a good security practice, it is not against any law to print the entire credit card number on the receipt nor is it credit card theft or fraud. In fact, small merchants who only have mechanical credit card equipment have to print the credit card number on the receipt from the embossed number on the card and therefore the whole number has to be on the receipt.

As someone who has worked in retail for many years I fully agree totall.It may not be illegal but it is about time more retailers did more to protect their customers.Another bug bear of mine is when assistants cant be bothered to check signature against your card...

The problem is we tend to let our guard down when on holiday,but we have to take responsibility for our credit cards too.Dont ever let your card out of your sight(eg in restaraunts).I deal with credit card theft and fraud on a regular basis but it still never fails to amaze me how common it really is.

And as for chip and pin,lets not even go there.....!

I meant to say that: Although that in ';not'; a good security paractice.

It doesn%26#39;t matter what is on the credit card receipt - the whole number is not against the law. With new technology it is very easy for thieves to copy card information and then just make a whole new card with your name, number, expiry date and even the security code on the back. I have just signed off on over $5,000.00 worth of items purchased with a credit card in my name in Paris, France in early December. The fraud squad is investigating. The whole thing is called ';skimming'; and is very common the world over.

Bye the way, I%26#39;m still waiting for the Louis Vuitton handbag to turn up but now I%26#39;m starting to think that it really won%26#39;t happen!!!!!
