Electronic Pickpocketing - Credit Card Scam

It's called electronic pickpocketing and security expert Walt Augustinowicz says relatively new technology designed to make your purchases more convenient could put your credit card number at risk.


In a mall in New York City, Augustinowicz showed INSIDE EDITION's Paul Boyd how it can happen. In a matter of seconds, he effortlessly pickpockets four unsuspecting shoppers without ever laying a finger on their purses or wallets.


Now, you should always be on alert whenever someone places something near your pocket or bag, or wherever you keep your wallet at. It can be a scam to steal your credit card information. It can happen in overseas and it can also happen in anywhere if you are using similar credit cards.
