wcook Posted September 26, 2011 #26 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My friend's card was skimmed in Ottawa to the tune of $500 within 1 hr for overseas purchases Fortunately VISA checked with her because she had not told them she was travelling out of the Country I think they meant no skimming from RFID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 26, 2011 #27 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I think they meant no skimming from RFID Maybe I was not clear She has a card with the "WAVE" (rfid) system maybe not in U.S.A. yet (you barely have the CHIP cards there) She never used her card at the mall it was in her purse Anyone it seems can purchase a RFID card reader online for around $100. Anyway we now have the RFID sleeves for our credit cards & passports Just saying it has happened maybe no statistics YET but it does happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
