How did he get that card? Every custom card thing I've tried rejects literally everything that isn't like a generic pic of nothing.
Maybe he is rich and has some perks to customize his card with his bank.
Had this been a Black guy instead of a Japanese guy he would have been in jail for a few years before everything was cleared up.

No, our cards are ghetto. The ones with chips are still fancy to us.

I really wanna say this seems to be an isolated incident. Either way, I also suspect the man wasn't able to properly explain himself to the Disneyland employees and attendants at the moment.
This is japan we're talking about!
Yep. It's the same sort of thing as that World of Warcraft card posted in the thread earlier.

Natwest gave me a disgusting default design for a card, it was orange and gloopy so it looked like vomit, then right next to the card they tell me how I can put my custom design on it for however much extra. I'm sure they intentionally made that design awful to make me pay extra for custom, so I didn't. Bastards. I probably would've done bought a custom design on my own if they hadn't tried to screw me over to get me to do it.

Yes what an amazing idea to make a fake credit card look fake. Making fakes look real is too mainstream.
Really dont know what they were thinking when he was arrested (assuming this is legit).

It probably won't. Swipe cards can be cloned very easily to any blank magnetic card. You can then just swipe them at payment and fake sign it. This is probably what employees thought happened, a payment card fraudulently cloned on a toy card. I mean it was already a problem 20 years ago when chip and pin started.

Just swipe and 4 digit pin for cash at an ATM, no signature.

Power of nine right here
Still doesn't make any sense. It clearly has all the official Visa logos and security markings.
What's more likely, that a toy company is allowed to use Visa trademarks or that a bank is allowed to use some cartoon license? And if it was a fake, or fraudulent somehow, wouldn't he be more likely to use a less conspicuous card?

Came here expecting anything but the card being mistook as fake...
We've had custom cards for YEARS. How hard was it to either 1.) SWIPE THE DAMN CARD, or 2.) do a google search to see if the card design was real.
If someone were to make a fake credit/debit card, why would you go for a design that's flashy & sticks out than, ya know, an actual design that's used by default?
Hell, we've had Street Fighter Visa cards for almost 5 years now. This isn't a new thing.

I presumed everywhere used chip and pin now. Bizarre.
No doubt it was but to fucking sue? Jesus have a bit of fucking balls and admit there was a mistake and move on. You don't have to sue for every fucking mistake someone makes. He'll have been embarrassed no doubt but to take legal action is laughable over this.
You're forgetting this is America, the legal system (atleast looking from the outside) seems to promote people sueing anyone and anything as long as it isn't some big business who can always get away with it.
LAPD's Poor Taste division is getting results, I see.
fixed.
ha, typical ignorant foreigners
not everywhere is like where you live

That's the impression I've got time and time again that the US is just a total compensation culture, and I thought here in the UK we were bad at times.
Basically without swipe theres no way to put a chipped card through in the us if it doesnt have a strip.
You have to type in the card number manually and then make an old fashioned imprint, except you cant make an imprint of most new cards because the info isn't raised. So that leaves us with a card number thats easily recopied.

In my country, formally accusing someone of a crime he/she didn't commit is a crime itself (called calunnia). They showed how blind and silly can sometimes people be.

Visa runs ads for that on TV here in Norway, which is funny because retailers don't accept tap-to-use yet.
What's your favorite credit card? Mine's chocolate.

So they didn't even swipe it? Didn't even ask, "Sir is this a toy?" Just straight to calling the police, huh. Even if they did think it was a toy, it wouldn't behoove them to think about why a guy who paid with such a card would remain around if he was trying to commit fraud instead of running (I'm assuming he'd stay around to get his card back). And wouldn't having such a bright toy card be fake be so freaking obvious for someone trying to defraud? The article says its not surprising but it is extremely surprising.
