Interesting and slick scam

Ahem. http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2012/09/10/chip-and-skim-cloning-emv-cards-with-the-pre-play-attack/

That attack doesn't actually clone the card, it exploits weak protocol implementations to achieve a similar effect. I agree that the end result can be rather equivalent, but it can be patched with software upgrades to the buggy terminals and ATMs. You don't need to actually replace the cards because the hardware on them is still secure.

An interesting scam. Wouldn't work in most of Europe because of the call termination "bug" not existing here.

• Call somebody who you think owns some Bitcoins and is of average technical knowledge.

Lol. I wouldn't know who to call. I know lots of people that own bitcoins and lots of people with average or below average technical knowledge. But noone I know fits both descriptions and the one that comes close has their coins in casascius.

Only an, here come.... MORON would fall for that nonsense. what a weak ass scam

Yeah but the digibitics like an 80 year old could get tricked this way...

If they make 100 calls a day and only one would fall for it ...they probably made more money then working for a boss ...

So keep ur money stored save or in an savingaccount witch is harder get to by scammers ..

I would kick the one who gets at my door to pick the card up very very hard in his croutch...
