I have check ID on my cards as well, but unfortunately the thieves probably do not write that on the cards they make with your information.

In fact, I wouldn't doubt if the cards they make have their name on them with your number and your info on the magnetic strip. If a cashier paid attention to the name on the receipt, they'd see it didn't match the name on the card, but fat chance any cashier checks that.

Understood, David, my point was about cashiers checking IDs in general on debit and credit purchases, not about counterfeit cards.
