credit card skimming?

WOW.

read up on it. just passed by CNN and saw a story on it. identity theft. people at the store. at a nice restaurant. scan your credit card normally, and then on a little scanner. It looks just like a tabletop version except its pocket sized. I probably would have fallen for it thinking it was convenient at a restaurant - watch out!

and, they can also put your information on a hotel room card. and then, the magnetic stripe and all will work just like a credit card - your credit card.

wow.
