The convenience of Tap and Go and PayWave technology has given rise to a dangerous, invisible criminal threat. Readily available ‘skimming’ devices allow criminals to steal RFID CHIP credit and debit card and Passport information – anywhere, anytime up to 20 mt away without ever seeing or touching the Card or Passport. The theft is silent, fast,easy and unbelievably LEGAL as it is only gathering and sharing of the data. The crime is to use the data but if it has been passed to a 3rd party in another country the police have no jurisdiction to investigate or prosecute. Fortunately, guarding against these crimes is very easy. By placing RFIDSHIELD in a Wallet or Purse or Passport holder the signals used to steal chip details are blocked. Everyone should protect their cards and identities as once compromised it has lifelong repercussions. Companies that provide employees with Corporate cards should also supply each one with a RFIDSHIELD to minimise risk and the huge burden of administration and recovery of funds and assisting stranded employees when cards are cancelled.
