Electronic pickpocketing

Whenever we purchase any products using our debit card especially when we travel,we are very careful in which stores to buy.We prefer to buy where there are many customers.And if we have a doubt,we pay in cash.We have been hearing some electronic pickpocketing incidents.Someone can steal the card's information without even having the card.Some said that they can steal the card's infos when a card holder swiped the card to their swipe card device or have it passed by sensors.

We were once victimized by similar fraud.My husband paid to a site that he thought was safe.He never knew that the site was not legitimate and forgot to look for the "https"( Https means the site is secured and protected).So after few days,we saw an almost 700 euros taken from our bank account.Goodthing that we always checked our accounts online.Someone from other country had use the card of my husband.Thanked God,our card is insured and we were refunded.
