Manchester, NH — September 06, 2016 — The techniques used by traditional snatchers and pickpockets have been widely known to people from around the world. However, thieves have become so high-tech that they no longer need to come in physical contact with their victims just to steal.

Experts reveal the best protective measures to take against credit card thieves. Today, more and more credit card designs are highly susceptible to fraudsters and their card skimming devices.

According to experts, conventional credit cards contain a magnetic strip, which holds the identification information of the card. This magnetic strip is comparable with a short piece of audio recording tape. It is placed at the back of the card and comes in a rust-brown stripe.

Today, RFID-enabled credit cards are widely used worldwide. This RFID technology makes it possible for thieves to steal in a distance. Fraudsters often use a card skimming device that could read and scan information from a credit card in a distance.

Thieves only need to stand or position themselves near their victim to allow their card skimming device to read the credit card information. Unfortunately, these card skimming devices are widely available and are inexpensive.

There is also an app that is designed to read information from credits cards, and this for many experts, can be extremely threatening. Thieves can easily obtain data and use it at the expense of victims and for their own personal gains.

The good news is that consumers can resort to measures that would help them increase their protection against these thieves. One is to use or cover their cards with an aluminum foil. This method is believed to be extremely helpful in warding off crooks.

Individuals who need to be in public, crowded places such as subways may need to use this aluminum foil method for their protection.

When thieves are able to steal information, they start using it to buy things or sell it to the black market. Victims can go through the hassles in clearing their name and repairing the damage that credit card thieves could do.

It can also be helpful to use the set of RFID blocking sleeves, which can be placed inside the wallet. These sleeves are designed to block card skimming apps and devices from reading and stealing credit card information.

Individuals who want to protect their credit cards may take advantage of these RFID blocking sleeves. These sleeves can be purchased at amazon.com. (www.amazon.com/rfid-sleeves-for-credit-cards/dp/B0150T0AI2).
