I know this, I have "Ask for ID" on the back of all my cards. I talked to one of my card issuers upon getting my card and they told me directly that, if I write in the signature space "refused to ask for ID" that I could go back and challenge the purchase. I have never done this.
I also know that if someone signs on my card and does not have my approval I can challenge that purchase as it is fraud.
If I sign "blah blah blah" and when I get my bill I don't challenge the purchase then I am liable for it. However, if I challenge it and they pull the reciept and the sig, if it is not my signature then the company eats the loss.
(I would assume though if I signed "blah blah blah" and they had tape of me signing and I fought the signature, then I would in turn be prosecuted for fraud.)
Companies need to check on this, as do cardholders. Companies to fight fraud, cardholders so that they know their true rights.
