Cab driver!

Just to note, don't pay with your debit card. Pay with an actual credit card. A debit you can't always argue payments you didn't make but a credit card you can.

Its a maschine called SQUARE,

If yes, the money go into driver's account. So, you dont have to worry for yourself. He cant use your acount information. Its his problem. By the time he wont be anymore working for his company

I think you're describing the SQUARE device. It's legitimate and is in pretty common use where I live (San Francisco). Most small business owners use it instead of the traditional credit card machine and it works in the exact same way so don't worry about your information being stolen.

If you're still concerned, google it or go onto the SQUARE website and see if that allays your fears.

I have one of those Square card swipe reader for my business. Their fees are lower than the traditional merchant service. Just keep your eyes on your account whenever you make any transaction but I wouldn't worry about this one.

Hi everybody, I worry too much I was going to my job today, I was a running late I had to call the cab company, this is not the first time I use a cab, the cab was my only choice to be there almost in time, the driver was a very young guy after when I wanted to pay , I had no cash I had to pay with my debit card, I was having my card in hand ready to slice it in the rear seat Cc machine , he gave me his hand and I saw his smart phone, I asked him why is the CC machine is not working? He said no I don't want to charge you the fee with the CCMACHINE and he sliced my card in his phone! I was not happy because this is the first time I see a driver use his phone, the he said click no tips, then sign, I was shocked, now I'm in my job, I'm very confused may be he has my bank card information now! They never charged me more with the CCMACHINE. What I'm supposed to do?Please help, I need advices, the young guy I know he was lying about something????

i feel bad for you when you are asking other people here that "if you should worry or not", can any answer given will make you come out of the situation ? About this issue, you should not be worried.they usually offer you to send the receipt electronically via email. you can reach out to the cab company via the transaction detail you will have on your bank statement (and have them send you a receipt if not any). NOW THE BIGGEST REASON FOR YOUR WORRY SHOULD BE !!!! i am just kidding man you will be okay. just chill.

Do you think I should worry?

NO, your credit card is protected against fraud. Just call the card company and make sure the cab driver charged you the right amount.

you guys are awesome! its good to see that eventhough this guys question had nothing to do with Visas or immigrating. you took time to calm him down and explain. Hat off to all.

Well, if your debt card had the logo of VISA then it has something to do with VISA but not VJ...LOL..Kidding...

although you don't need to worry, I wonder if you can set the limit on your Debit card for certain amount and receive text message if anyone is trying to make charges to it. Or just to give you peace of mind, get a new card.
