That said, AFAIK in event of fraudulent credit card transaction:
1) Without a signature the merchant bears most of the risk.
2) With a fake signature the card issuer (or its insurer) bears most of the 
risk.
Cardholder risk = card cancelled (not always tho!), card issuer gives you a 
new card. Of course if it happens too many times under _suspicious_ 
circumstances you may not get a new card.
In the country I live, most card cloners do many multiple simultaneous 
transactions at different places (even states), so it's pretty obvious it's 
not you. The card issuer gets the bill.
