warning warning warning about credit cards..

Its not a surprise, they denied that chip and pin was easily breached by crooks for at least a year here in the UK before they were forced to do something about it. It still goes on now, usually at garages and they clone your card when you pay for fuel.
It's one of the main reasons I buy my petrol from supermarkets rather than independently owned garages.

If what I gather from the stuff about RFID when they introduce it here they were talking about asking you to still input your pin, I could be wrong though because I haven't paid much attention to this RFID stuff because I won't be having it in my card. Something about my card being read from a signal makes me uncomfortable, I still refuse to use wi-fi for my pc and only when I have no other choice for other devices.

thats good advice... it is something i haven't really thought about until lately.. so i just thought i would pass it on... how are you doing..
 
Didnt want the video, but guess its about credit card skimmers...

It happened here many years... So i've always been on top of it... Check all my bills with a fine tooth comb...

And yes, i definitely avoid doing any online transactions when possible and NEVER do it over wifi... Especially not a public one...

At the end of the day its about being careful with what and where you use your cards...
