in Credit cards
I've just emailed the following to martin, do you think I will get a reply?
PS, don't ask what it is, I won't tell you.
HI There,
I’m a great fan of martin and his cause for the greater consumer good! I have an idea which would be fairly simple for the major banks to implement and should cut credit card fraud by about 80% - 90% overnight. However, me being just a normal hard working person no one will listen to me so I was wondering with the help of martin and his contacts he could talk to the banks and get them to listen.
If he’s genuinely interested please get him to spare me 30 seconds of his time on the phone. Once I’ve told him I’m sure that he and everyone else would say “man, why didn’t we think of that before!”
I look forward to your reply.

If the banks withdrew all CC and Debit Cards, all CC - Debit Card Fraud would cease, however it wouldn't be very useful.:rotfl:0

You will never stop CC & DC fraud, while humans are still involved in the process somewhere there will always be fraudThese are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!
I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!0 -

You haven't given any details whatsoever, which gives the impression that you don't have any.
I certainly wouldn't reply to such a message if it ended up in my inbox (assuming it dodged the spam filters of course.)Conjugating the verb 'to be":

I've already tried to obtain Martin's help/support with a system already in use and acknowledged by one Credit Reference Agency, and an ID Theft Expert as being a very good deterrent. Unfortunately Martin has still got to get back to me.
See www.freeidprotection.co.uk Whereby you can use your biometric without the need for a database, not to prove you are who you say you are, but to deter someone else from pretending to be you.
