“The lesson is.!! No.1 Always check that the pump amount is what you asked for. And step no 2. And this one is very important, always make 100% sure that the amount on the speed point machine is the same as what’s on the pump before entering your pin.”

“My card wouldn't waste any time it would have told them that I don't have that amount.”

“Unless you often make very large purchase amounts the bank would raise the flag and halt this, and you'd have to call them to go ahead.”
