Bro, she could be married to Ang Mo.... it is "rude" for the SE to ask the buyer, "you marry ang mo, is it?"

Just find it weird...Liby Thomas sounds like an ang mo...that fabien looks like ang mo meh? shop also dun care lah or careless lah....

Wait a minute, isn't a new credit card needs to be activated in the first place?

I agree with extra measure from the bank also. I received an SMS whenever doing a transaction above 2k SGD (if I am not wrong, you can set this amount, depending on your CC issuer).

All in all, this doesn't excuse the person who did the fraud.

Correct! So why the SE bothers when he/she got the approval code from the bank?? If banks want SE to check, ask them to set a law that IC has to be photocopied when ppl use their credit cards....

Abit extreme to photocopy IC + CC esp if you are local. I can understand people asking me for secondary ID when I use my aussie CC; but id be pretty pissed if I was asked to produce ID for every transaction over say $2k when paid in cash.

I recently used my CC to purchase an item from a shop. During the payment, I received a SMS notification that my CC had just been used to make a payment of $xxxxxx. I was still in the shop. So I guess it's another form of security measure.

i think bank will profile the transactions made by the customer.

if it fits the spending pattern, they will not bother.

from my own experience, I only get the call on the first time i sign big item, after that no more sound. Whether big, small, frequent, online.

i usually use cc whenever i can. pay later and get some rebates. good deal.
