A friend of mine sent me this via email and I thought I'd share with you all, eye opening stuff :shock:
"Keep a watch out for people standing near you at retail stores,
restaurants, etc., that have a mobile phone in hand. With the new
camera mobile phones, they can take a picture of your credit card,
which gives them your name, number, and expiration date. Identification
theft is one of the fastest growing scams today, and this is just
another example of the means that are being used. So ... be aware of
your surroundings!"
It's so simple when you think about it but it's made me think a little harder when standing in a que waiting to pay for something, credit card in hand!
