I think this is an important topic and one I may want to try to get some additional workshops/programs on for the region since, as you say, there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the issue.

I consider myself to NOT be in that ‘careful and cautious’ group. I am all over the place online and figure that a lot of info is pretty much readily available and so I am one to err toward the side of convenience and openness on the web versus protection. I always say that nothing has happened so far, and that I “don’t care” about this – and then add that probably someday I will be sorry as a result!

I am going to check out everything you have mentioned here! Thanks!

This shows that fraud will continue to grow until they exploit KEY and PIN system described on website http://www.xwave.co.uk which will deter BOTH identity and card fraud fraud by making signature and PIN systems reliable and foolproof.

Fake documents have made our signature system unreliable while skimmers and pin-hole cameras etc. have made PIN system unreliable. We have option to make signatures reliable by personalising them with ID stickers and option to use Card Key Code to make PIN system reliable to make use of stolen and skimmed cards meaningless. By ignoring to exploit this system banks are only letting fraud crimes grow.

ID KEY system will eliminate the need for us to protect our personal and card details since fraudsters will be deterred from misusing these stolen details.

Proposed ID KEY can be treated as a reliable international ID card because it will personalise signature and PIN number to only the right individuals in any country.

We hope that the government and banks will appreciate these details and exploit KEY and PIN system before it is too late to stop a fraud boom.
