Re: Why do businesses store credit cards

I bought a phone from CPW in January, with a UK card not used elsewhere, Monday get a call to tell me it's been fraudulently used to buy Tesco mobile stuff and viagogo tickets to the value of about a grand.

I suspect Dixons only found out about this fraud because the credit card companys that were seeing fraud linked them..

It also seems to be untrue that CVV data wasn't accessed...
