Do Highway patrol carry credit card machines in their cruisers? I was pulled over for speeding about 9 years ago in Ohio, and since i was using an international drivers license at the time, the officer told me to pay the tickets on the spot or else, i was going to have to go to jail. And then, when i told him that i had no cash, he said i can pay with my credit card and pulled a credit card reader out of his cruiser.
My friends think that i was scammed but i’m very sure that i wasn’t. Can anybody help me prove this?
UPDATE: to answer an earlier question and to make this question clearer…I was using an INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS PERMIT, and i was pulled over in OHIO, i was a student in Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh to be exact, and I’m asking this question now because it just came out in a conversation in my office and my friends at work don’t think this is possible….I tried contacting Ohio Highway Patrol but nobody replied my questions.

i sell jewelry at local street fairs and have one of the old school credit card machines where i take an imprint of the card and come home and run it on the computer. today when i tried to run one of the cards it came up as declined. i have an imprint of the guy’s card, his name, and driver’s license number, is there anything i can do about this bad card and to get my money? it’s not a ton of money but it’s enough that it is worth putting in some time and effort trying to get him to pay for the stuff he bought at the fair.
i do not have any of his contact info, just his name and driver’s license number, and it is an out of state license. no phone number, no address.

My boss always has me doing miscellaneous odd jobs while I’m at work in his store, and today one of his assignments to me is to find out (even though I am about 75% incompetent with computers and technology of all sorts) if he could cancel his LAN line for one of his businesses, but use a cell phone that he’s already paying for every month to run the credit card machine. Someone I know suggested that he’d have to buy a -600 machine to work with the cell phone, and I know the clerk @ that business can always call one of his other businesses and run the card transactions through one of his viable credit card machines. But if someone knows ANYTHING credible about this, I would really love some information, cuz I’m really in the weeds here! Thanks!
ok, "land" line then, goes to show how technology retarded I am
excuse me, "technologically challenged" i believe is the PC term, before ppl start flagging this question.
if my boss disconnected his "land line" we would have no internet.

Hi! I am starting a small home business with my mother and we are curious how to get one of the black credit card machines to run credit cards from home - or is it easier to do it over the internet? Also, do you set up an account with the credit card companies? If someone has done this before, can you please explain the beginning of the setup to us please - Thanks so much

I always see these credit card machines on the gas pump but I’ve never used one before because I don’t want to screw it up. One thing I’ve wondered is do you put the card in before or after you pump the gas and does it ask you any questions on the display screen? Anyway I imagine it is pretty easy to do.

I work for a credit card processor wher I am selling new credit card machines. Here is my question, some of the older machines these merchants use print out the whole credit card number, expiration date and the customers name. I understand and wouldn’t want my info on a receipt, but I am having trouble understanding how someone could take my credit card number and actually spend on it? If they go on the internet to buy something, their IP will get snatched and they would need the 3 digit code on the back of the card to finish a transaction. If they go into a store, they have to convince the cashier to handkey the card number and they have to risk being seen on camera. So how is this such a big problem? What can a theif actually do with the number?

I recieved an email asking me to apply for the job saying they pay weekly commissions, and that you do a one day 8 hour training on the phone and computer, and start the next day going on pre-selected appointments to sell the credit card machines to local businesses. But what i am skeptical about is their claim that you can make 00-00/month. All they ask of me up front is to fill out application and background check form, and fax it back.
Has anyone ever applied or work for this company or any like it. let me know. In these hard economic times, i dont have time for games and dont want to quit a job that i have already for a fluke…
Their website is http://www.cpphr.com

any serious answers would be greatly appreciated.

I am a 33 year old male and I just laid off from my banking job and I am considering getting into outside sales selling credit card machines and other services to small businesses. The job is 100% commission and it is extremely appealing to me. The company basically sets up appointments for me and I got out and sell small businesses on saving money on their merchant account . Im scared to try it because Im not sure if its a secure income. On the other hand, I dont want to go back to work a 9 to 5 job because I like the freedom that being an independant sales gives me. Can someone tell me if outside sales is a lucrative career ? What about the competition ? Can you make consistant income from it ? Is the merchant bankcard business a good business to be in ?
