Visa, HNC Inc. develop neural network as a weapon to fight fraud

About time too. I recently had a run in with a local bike mechanic and had to stop a cheque for 650 pounds. However, my cheque guarantee card is also a Visa card, and so the scumbag filled out a Visa slip using the details on my cheque - without my permission of course. This was successfully paid to him by Visa. However, I told my bank what had happened and they freaked. It seems I'm definitely going to get the money back after about 3 months (!!). The bank were very embarrassed and want me to tell the police as it's a criminal offence. It's always struck me how people could easily fill out Visa slips from discarded receipts, get the money and split. Jon.
