Hi! Dora, I was surprised to hear about your signature stamp. I am
surprised that clerks in stores accepts it, but what if someone
steals your credit card and your rubber stamp?
They will have a easy time of it too.
Could you say that it is not your signature and you did not make
that expense?
I have noticed that store clerks do not check signatures on credit
card bills very much and that they do not realize or know the
importance of the signature.
I worked at one time at the postal wicket selling and cashing
postal money orders, and I would not accept such a signature.
Your signature is like your finger prints and can only be signed by
hand using a pen or pencil.
You are lucky that you have been able to use your stamp in stores
and it has been accepted, but as I said, what if someone steals
your stamp?
cheers, J.P.

That happened to my mother, although on second thought, I'm not
sure they got herstamp, but I would have to report my card stolen
and they would have to take care of it and if someone used my card
and stamp, I would not be charged. Oh, this has bothered me and
when I'm out in public, I hang on to my purse for dear life. As
for the clerks, noone has ever given me trouble. In fact many are
fascinated with it.
