Alleged Barang Thief Caught on Riverside CCTV Using Stolen Credit Card at Minimarts

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I'm not aware of any debit cards here that require you to enter a pin when you make a purchase. I have a regular Acleda visa card and I just have to sign when the receipt comes out of the card machine. I've only ever had to enter my PIN at ATMs.
I have ABA visa and master, both require to enter a pin at any shop.

I have been asked to enter the PIN and sign. Also have been asked just to sign, (in Luckys I think) but that was a long time ago.

I have ABA and never even carry my card. E-cash worlks for everyday cash needs. and the app also has QR code pay facility which works in may places.

Their new contactless card is one I will avoid for as long as possible.

It is possible to disable the contactless feature. The technology (Radio Frequency Identification - RFID) is accomplished by a thin wire antenna that loops around the card and get very close to the edges. A well placed cut will scupper it. Cutting a small (4mm) incision with nail clippers on the bottom edge should sever the wire.

Your phone flashlight, turned up to the max, will reveal where on your card the wires run at the bottom. I tried it on my card and it works fine.
