And you thought your credit cards and ID were safe in your purse or pocket

Have a look at this one - you will be amazed how easy it is to steal your credit card info and your Identity. Be cautious with any new cards equipped with RFID technology.
If you only have ONE (1) in your pocket - be careful.

And you thought they had to pick your pocket or snatch and run with your purse.
Not any more

Never fails, the banks spend millions to give us security and yet we are still at risk.  Maybe they should work like the FBI and hire the theives.  I am sure they could figure something out with the multi Billion profit each quarter.

You mean the cash you need to get at the bank machine with a debit card?  :-)

Luckily, we aren't using RFID technology on our bank or credit cards - yet.

Check again???
TD credit cards and several others are using rfid technology in their cards - YES here in Canada.
Look for the sound wave symbol on the face of your card, if it is there it is RFID.

Any Mastercard with Tap'n'Go feature has RFID.  So do the Nexus cards that you use for travel.  I got a sleeve with my Nexus card that stops people from being able scan the info on it, but I've never been able to find them after market.
