FW: Using the "clear" button (I don't know if this true, but seems like a good idea

[Brian Lee]

Just a little missive to avoid problems since I had my credit card used by someone a few months ago and had some hassles straightening it out.

---            Using the "clear"  button   Using  credit/debit card?  Read this  note very carefully.  I did not know  about the clear button, but I will be pushing  the clear button before I swipe my  gas or debit card and  after just to be safe.      People are getting  really desperate due to the constantly rising gas prices.  A friend  just told me about something that happened to  one of his co-workers.  She used  her credit/debit card to purchase gas at the  pump (like most of us do).  She received  her receipt like normal.  However,  when she checked her statement, there were two $50. charges added in addition to her purchase.  Upon investigation, she found  out that because she did not press the 'clear'  button on the pump, the employee inside the  store was able to use her card to purchase his/her own gas!  To keep  this from happening, after you get your receipt,  you must press the 'CLEAR' button on bottom left or your information will be stored until the next  customer inserts their card.  Be sure to  tell all your friends/family so that this  doesn't happen to them. I had never noticed the  clear button but I got gas the other day and  sure enough it is there.  I shall be using  it from now on.    --
