    That said, AFAIK in event of fraudulent credit card transaction:
    1) Without a signature the merchant bears most of the risk.
    2) With a fake signature the card issuer (or its insurer) bears most of the 
    risk.
    
    Cardholder risk = card cancelled (not always tho!), card issuer gives you a 
    new card. Of course if it happens too many times under _suspicious_ 
    circumstances you may not get a new card.
    
    In the country I live, most card cloners do many multiple simultaneous 
    transactions at different places (even states), so it's pretty obvious it's 
    not you. The card issuer gets the bill.
