DRUG dealers are using chip and pin to take payments for Class A substances and laughing gas, a Sun probe reveals.
One asked our reporter to enter his card and code into a wireless device to buy a gram of cocaine for £60 outside a dance music party.
The drug was tested independently and found to be genuine.
He also used the device to take a £30 contactless payment for canisters of nitrous oxide — laughing gas — which causes a rush of euphoria and even hallucinations.
After the card tap, an app linked to his phone indicated the cash was taken under the name “In2fitness”.
He said: “When people get funny about card payments, I tell them to just transfer it to me online. It’s the future.”
A second dealer whipped out a chip and pin device to take a £10 contactless payment for two nitrous oxide canisters after being told: “I’ve got no cash.”
