Co-Op receipt warning

Nanny2Nurse

I went to my local Co-Op today, a) for convenience and b) to take advantage of some of their current great deals. However, I paid by debit card and upon checking my receipt when I arrived home I noticed my FULL debit card number printed on the front of the receipt with no attempt to obfuscate any of the 16 digits.

While I appreciate my 3-digit security code and expiry date were not printed, in the highly risky age of fraud, scams and identity fraud which we live in, surely at least 4 or 8 of the digits should have been replaced by asterisks?!

What does everyone else think?

Of course there are lots of different co-op groups,but I just looked at my receipt ( toilet rolls bogof!) and only the last 4 digits are shown.Could they have given you the receipt they are supposed to keep?Keep an eye to see if the money is debited?
my receipt has a website address on it.

This is 'The Co-operative Group Limited', New Century House, Manchester, Registered Number 525R, wwww.co-op.co.uk', VAT No. GB 403314604 on the receipt.

Not sure if two receipts physically come out of the till, I only ever see the one.

On our machine one says "customer copy" and the other "merchant copy". Check to see which you have. Unless you throw your receipts away without shredding it won't do a lot of harm.

It says neither of those on my receipt.
