Has Tap and Go Credit cards taken us backwards....

I remember 60 minutes doing an expose of a flaw in this system a while ago.

A clever hacker had a scanning device in a satchel and all he had to do was brush past someone to harvest the details of their tap 'n go card. Ladies with their cards in handbags were the easiest target.

It may be better than that now.
 
Before too long the credit chip will be embedded in our right hand or forehead in a cashless society to access the one world currency....yeah?
 
You better wrap that piece of crap in foil, some skimming bastard can just walk pass you and scan your happy chirpy tap and go card and obtain your details. It's fancy yes but not secure at all. You want high tech, try bitcoin. But they are not cheap.
 
Agree with you guys. Don't like the 'tap and go'.
Hehehehehe Yoda..........chip in the right hand and bar code on the forehead.......that's what I call 'brave new world'.........or '1984'.
 
It's a bit risky being so easily accessible. I admit to investing in a purse with the blocking plates in it..Not that there is ever much in the account lol

I must say Homer and Rochelle The pair of you seem to have worked out the working girl and Client system well But maybe the chips could be placed on, or in more intimate parts of the body and when they Connect. Ping $400 transferred from one chip to the other
 
Ahoy, Gold Coin for Meeeeeeeeeee all the rest is just pretend money
Gold, Gold, Gold, fill my Treasure chest with Gold
 
Good to see the scurvy has not taken your gold coin quality testing teeth HP

What happens to a old pirate who has lost this ability HP Cant be pretty! What ? Thrown onto a desert Isle without any Rum by a cutthroat with a good set of chompers
 
Ahoy Bro H2;- we call that old Pirate, "Dead Man Walkin"
nothing like been dumped in paradise,
No Rum, No Gold, No food, No women, No nothing "Yeeee cut your own Throat"

Actually, yeh.
Mary Stuart Relfe wrote a book on this very thing, many years ago. It was called "When your money fails". I do not believe it is in print anymore, but I am sure there would be other material around, which discusses this.

Ahoy! Captain your punts sound like heaps of fun. With 6 - 10 girls in the same room, what do you do after the first 2 - 5 minutes???
 
Coming soon to Australia.
Your contactless chip will be in, or attached to your smart phone.

All hands on deck I'd imagine for your parties. A few hands on the mast and another set to fire the canons.
 
Ahoy Bro Col, Yep you got the idea, you can never go wrong with Booze and BooBs, invite them along and you got a great Party, Ohhhhh play a few cool tunes helps a lot as well, nothing like a little mood music for a Party
Cheers and Pass the Rum

That's a great idea H2. But theres temptation to tap more than once, then you will over spend and not able to repay that debt.

Worse still Homer You tap the chips together and a light comes up om the girls forehead Please see the bank you have insufficient funds
Or worse still..

Sorry your penis is not long enough to make contact with the recipient chip please pay by cash
 
I think after the 1st tap, and heading for 2nd tap, it will say, "It appears you have an erectile issue, declined."
 
Ca$h is king definitely and plastic is its cousin. If plastic misbehave then it can be the Royal pain in the butt.

No hard so no connection is possible with the second chip so Transaction incomplete please remove

LoL, no transaction = game over.

Hehehehe Homer, that's funny.......was about to say the same thing (looks like great minds think alike).......from a w/l point of view it is an excellent idea................ :D
 
I quite like the tap and go card although far as I can tell the security ends when you lose it and someone runs around spending less than $100 each time until you report it lost or stolen. However the bank says they guarantee to recoup the losses incurred by any fraudulent use, I guess they'd have to or the negative publicity would end it, and they've invested a fortune into the technology.

My take on this card for a client / w/l perspective would be a chip embedded into the tongue of the client and the reader would be put.... well... it could be anywhere I guess!!

Oh look! it's being field tested already! :rolleyes:
