Card Cloning is a big problem in the UK.According to the news,criminals place a card reading device with micro-camera to read your PIN,as you enter it.

I`m arriving in Bangkok on the morning of the 17th July and have to be in Buriram on the evening of the 20th.I`m planning on coming to Pattaya for these few days.

I bought Windows XP last August,on the Khao San Rd,I payed 180Baht for it and it was copied for me,while I waited.Got back to the UK,loaded it on my pc,and it worked fine............for a month,then asked me to register it online.Windows refused to register it (I was`nt surprised),and after chatting to the Windows rep,it turned out that thousands of people all over the world had tried to register this same disc.
