RFID credit card fraud

[Cutty]

Forwarded e-mail. Just another credit/debit worry we all need to be aware of.

Just in case you haven't seen this yet.

I read this about a couple weeks ago, and then checked my cards for the little "WiFi Signal Icon" on each one. I found none w/that signal on them, but I was determined to watch for it when my cards came in on renewals. Well, yesterday I got my CHASE SLATE card AND THERE IT WAS ! My first time to see it. I'll not activate that card after seeing this. I guess I'll go to the bank and see if I can replace it w/a non wi fi (Radio Frequency Card)....?

Thought all my contacts ought to see this if you've not already seen this demo....wow!

Thanks for the warning.

Looks like I am going to have to wrap my cards in aluminum foil

What's the Problem? They said you can wrap all your Credit Cards with Tin Foil!

No problem guy's. This is the second place I came after forwarding the e-mail to all of my contacts.


I contacted chase and they are sending my wife and I new cards without the RFID. Luckily my debit card is with a credit union that doesn't use the RFID YET?. I would rather swipe my cards the old school "harder, slower" way and feel a bit safer. I did notice while recently replacing my wallett that they do sell walletts with a safety liner inside. The ones I looked at sounded like a crinkling candy wrapper. I went with the old school wallett as well.

Here's some more tips for the Crooks out there, with an App they can use their cell phones too!

Forbes says it's no big deal. Tempest in a teapot (my words). Really? I don't agree.
