The scammers then scratch up the new card’s magnetic strip so a store clerk has to enter the numbers manually — what’s called “forcing a transaction.” The self-made cards are by no means flawless; most look as if they’ve been through a clothes dryer. Still, some merchants have accepted the cards — particularly at high-volume stores, where cashiers may be less diligent. “People don’t understand it,” says Portland police officer Barbara Glass. “They’re scratching their heads. ‘Nobody stole my mail. There was no burglary.’ Their credit card number is being used, but their card is still in their purse or wallet. It’s just dumb luck that they got hit.” Joe LaRocca, NRF’s vice president of loss prevention, says one of the best ways to prevent problems is to alert cashiers to the scam and encourage them to trust their gut: When a card doesn’t look authentic, it probably isn’t.
