HAS CHIP N PIN SPELLED THE END FOR DUMPS?

[P1mptowt]

Now It has come to my attention in recent weeks that less and less places are accepting swipe in the UK.

I am unsure how it is in other countries but I hear most of EU has chip and pin and the countries who don't will be following suit sooner rather than later.

With this in mind, Does this mean the end for dumps?

As far as I know there is no antidote to cure the dreaded chip and pin virus!

If anybody has any info on the contrary to this, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. Ive posted similar article about that issue allready.
I bet what by the end of the year almost every major country (UK,FR,IT,ES) will switch to chip only transations.
So we better be hurry!
