Contactless Payment Door Trap

Stephen Cotter video like you always imagined 🗡️ I make £30 every ten years with my side hustle. 💰 People often try to break into my house by jimmying the lock with a debit or credit card 💳 Instead of calling the police, I place a contactless payment terminal behind the door. Each time their card slides in, it beeps and triggers a £30 contactless transaction. Over the last decade, I’ve made £30. Minus the cost of the terminal and bank compliance, I’m up -£45.

A social media post describes placing a contactless payment terminal behind a locked door to charge burglars £30 when they try to break in with a bank card. The punchline is that the elaborate anti-burglary scheme loses £45 after equipment and compliance costs, making the side hustle hilariously unprofitable. The illustration shows a hand using a card on a door lock with contactless payment waves.
