Creditcard skimmers in Shanghai

This is kind of cute or daring - waiters in a Shanghai restaurant didn't want to skim a customer's card. They simply told him that something was wrong with his card and asked him to wait - following they went to a nearby mobile shop to buy handphones.

The customer only recognised the case when the creditcard company called him to inquire, if he just bought mobile phones for US$3,000. How daring, and good to have a good creditcard company, right?
