"An organised crime syndicate is suspected of having tampered with the chip and pin machines, either during the manufacturing process at a factory in China, or shortly after they came off the production line."

Another example of the problems associated with outsourcing manufacturing to China, I'm afraid. :(

Only answer seems to be, go to the bank, get cash and do it the old fashioned way.

chip and pin was only brought in as a way for banks to avoid paying out on fraud, arguing that if no one knows your number, it cant be faked  :o

I have always said that a signature is always more secure...  The cashier actually has to look at the card for a start, they can see if the card looks real....
