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.
