watch to the end - if you can - there is a way to see if your credit card has a symbol - if it does - you might check with your bank about this:

The symbol was at the end of the video - mine doesn't have it on it and I checked with my bank - they wouldn't be able to get my info with this device.

scary. I read the banks replies and they all referr to the no touch transactions where the code changes every time and they feel it is save. They don't reply to the fact that once equipt with the card info one can make purchases on line, phone etc.

It is scary - to think someone could walk past you and get enough info to make a transaction with your card - I do hope that the banks are right about what they are doing with us and our credit. *4U

Mildred, I think you really need to know - if your card is one that can be detected - carrying cash isn't always good either. *4U

It is - I glad we know about it - at least we can be aware of someone holding a piece of equipment close to us.
