It's much easier to make you smile than to force you to give up your credit card pin number when being robbed!
And you don't even need to know you've been robbed. You look at a stranger on the street? Now your bank accounted is empty! How efficient!
Cards should have a duress PIN that appears to work and clears the transaction when used, but then immediately locks the account and flags it for fraud investigation.
Is it not your PIN entered backwards anymore?
But what if your PIN is a palindrome?
You're always calling for help hahaha
Literally already works if I know your credit card number. Fraudulent charges are possible, but well. Fraud tends to be prosecuted and illegal.
