I know this will sound stupid but would tin foil work?
As ‘seen on TV’ - a recent episode of “NCIS” used a device like this in the opening - a woman was gabbing CC numbers, burning a new one and headed out shopping....
So - if it is on TV - it must be really real, right?
I assume you’re talking about RFID chips embedded in credit cards. That being the case, does anyone know which credit card companies are using the RFID chips? I would also think that if anyone had their RFID card compromised they would have a good case to be relieved of all responsibility if not advised of the chip.
I had two cell phones cloned over a decade ago, that were cloned while we were driving and the phones were on but not being used.
Both times it happened at a busy entrance to an interstate.
I had noticed a ubitious white van parked off the side of the road both times, and I notified the cell phone provider after the second event. I never saw the van again.
The numbers were apparently sold to drug dealers and by the time we got home (in about 30 minutes), the provider had discontinued the service on one of the phones. Apparently some governmental agency wanted the phone to work for a couple of days. The guys were calling international providers, and the costs were tremendous. We didn’t have to pay.
The phone was the famous Motorola Flip Phone. Indestructible basically, but very cloneable.
RFID chips in credit cards is a really bad idea. It’s a stupid answer to a non-existant problem.
Don’t know how to address several freepers at the same time so ...
THANKS to everyone who was so nice to answer my question on using tin foil.
Good thing my cards have zero liablity. I’ll let the let the finance companies figure out how to combat it.
