Hi Trace

orry but all the evidence is that it's very very easy to
forge a signatures.
Fraud is actually down, (when card is used in shops) as a direct result of
chip and PIN.
However be aware fraud is up, for (card not present) internet shopping
transactions.
Consider the following possible way of fraud:
Bank sends you card.
Someone opens the envelope before you get it.
They then make note of your name, address, card number
(as well as the card's security number)
They then reseal the envelope and when you receive it you won't be aware
someone else has all the details then need, to shop at your
expense, on internet!
Regards,
Derek
