>> So some retailers are scamming the system. That is different from your previous claim.

When there is a fraud, it is on both the parts of the retailer and the person cashing out of the card. Both parties are guilty of fraud.

And no, they won't be caught. The ONLY reason those few in Birmingham were caught is that they stumbled into it. And 17, even in a medium-sized city like Birmingham, is a drop in the bucket.

>> If that card is sold, it is very difficult to get replaced.

The card isn't sold. It is lent long enough for the benefits to be stolen, at which point it is returned to its owner. This is how the scam works.

The point isn't the scam itself; iron-clad protection against complicit fraud is almost impossible to achieve.

If you want serious fraud protection, hire a casino to manage it. They are the true experts.
