It appears GAMESTOP has been caught recording personal information such as credit card numbers and pins. A class action lawsuit was filed Feb 23 Alameda County California accuses the retailer of doing just that. Wouldn't surprise me if anyone who ever bought anything from GS using a debit card or CC starts receiving those class action lawsuit letters where if you pitch in your entitled to something, but at this point I am merely speculating. Of course after being asked about this policy GS representative answered with the usual "WE DON'T COMMENT ON PENDING LITIGATION". I think to be on the safe side we should all pay cash from now on at GS or go a different route.
"Defendants' employee made no attempt to erase, strikeout, eliminate, or otherwise delete Plaintiff's personal identification information from the electronic cash register after the Plaintiff's credit card number was recorded," the suit says.
Arechiga believes GameStop uses PII obtained from cardholders to obtain additional personal information, such as residential addresses. "Such conduct is performed intentionally and without the knowledge or consent of the cardholder, and is of potentially great benefit to [GameStop]."

I hope your correct about this being an isolated incident, I guess we will see. What she claims is that within a period of 12 months she was repeatedly asked for her Personal Information like PIN number and CC number at the point of sale. Since she thought she needed to provide this to complete the sale she would. She claims after the sale was complete, the employee or whom ever kept the information stored on there computer for whatever reason. I mean this is a CLASS ACTION complaint I'm sure they did there research before jumping into this.
If you want I will send you a link to the complaint that was filed ???
