Does anyone know why we have to enter the last 4 digits of people's credit cards when they make high purchases?
If you want to double check, you can ask for their ID and the card at the same time. You can make sure the ID matches the card holder.
If they are buying an Ipad(s)... when the system ask you for those 4 digits always take a card in your hand, don't ask them to tell you. EVERY day I have people with fake cards, they have IDs matching the cards and even if you enter four digits from a card it will go, but the card is fake. Its good to check the card, like the quality of the print. If the card looks ''cheap'', just call GSTL to double check.
When I see those cards, I just put some other last four digits and it will not be approved, and you see on them that they are not surprised. You can recognize them when you ask them for attachments and they will anything,... you can see they don't care about the price (because its not there money).
You can't purposely enter wrong digits to make the transaction not go through. For all you know that person could be wealthy and want an ipad.If they are buying an Ipad(s)... when the system ask you for those 4 digits always take a card in your hand, don't ask them to tell you.
