Very funny story of a guy doing an experiment involving credit card recipts to see if sales clerks check for the correct signature.

I thought it was sad and scary more so then funny. I think everyone of us has had the same expierence although I can honestly say I never attempted to draw pictures or musical notes on the electronic reader to see what would happen

At the self checkout at my grocery store I had to sign my receipt personally b/c the electronic reader didnt recognize a letter of the alphabet.
So at least crooks have to get one letter.
BTW: That same guy has a great prank where he pays on the New Jersey turnpike with fruit, foreign coins, stickers, IOUs, and still gets by and drives on it for free.

Yeah I saw that too. I thought it was funny, but your right it is frightening how easy it is for a crook to use your card. I just got a kick out of how far he went and noone asked any questions. And the IOU from Mariah Carey was great on the turnpike prank.
