That is very true, but in the US and UK measures are being bought in all the time in an effort to try to combat this and outwit the fraudsters. The old method of a manual swipe and handwriting of the docket is just about obsolete here now but is still very widely used in the DR. I was surprised to see this used when I rented a jeep in January and notified the bank immediately of the amount and that not a peso more could or should be charged.
