Nedbank Card cloning???

What I dont understand is that the bank is supposed to be the safe place to keep our money. We have to present bloodscans, id books, family registries and what not to just get an account and then someone just "clones" a card and takes money?? Why dont they beef up security to prevent this, it cant be that hard?

Yep. You have a bank card so that you don't get mugged while carrying cash. But then the bastards clone your card, somehow watch you enter your pin, and you're screwed.

Looks like the only way to TRY prevent it is to be completely anal retentive about the use of your card. You NEVER hand it over to be swiped, you swipe it yourself, and when entering your pin, you cover the entire unit with your jacket or something. :p Well that only covers swiping your card while paying for something... but what about ATMs with fake facades? I've seen pictures of fake facades that look EXACTLY like the card slot on an std bank ATM. Who's to say that the ATM you're using is safe?
