That time at the state fair in Ohio changed how I pay for everything now

I was at the Ohio State Fair last August and bought a hot dog from a cart. The guy handed me this janky card reader and I swiped my card without thinking. Two days later I saw $240 in charges from places I never went to. The bank refunded it but it took 3 weeks and a ton of paperwork. Now I only use cash at any event or place with those portable readers. Has anyone else gotten burned at a fair or festival like that?

Had the same thing happen at a county fair in Indiana.

Same situation at a county fair in Indiana sounds like you just got unlucky, most of those places run a solid game.
