Here in Australia, we have the option of having our eftpos machines always ask for the cvv2 number before processing the card.

The option was free, and does not have any ongoing costs

Cheers,

Our machines only ask for it with VISA, never MC. Both have the numbers, so don't know why this is. With MC, it isn't even an option to include that number.

Just met a client yesterday who has a nightmare going on with his Chase VISA - it appears someone has gotten a hold of all his information, including SS# and everything but his phone number and is charging up a storm with his card and transferred $7,000 for cash and all kinds of fun. What a horrible thing to have happen to you.

It all depends on your processor company.

We happen to have a different supplier for the two locations, one requires the manual input of the last four digits of the card, the other does not.

When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Joe,

You are correct, but the number on the back of the card could be 3 or 4 numbers.

Yep... The last 3 or 4 numbers on the back is the "V" code.

Thanks for clarifying that :>

Robert, I have a Meistergram 1912 with an extra controller for parts.
Would you be interested in purchasing it? It runs fine. I do not have any software so I have been running it off Engravelab. I am located in Ann Arbor Mich.
