Sure, this happens more regularly than you probably suspect. You used the card that was charged at a merchant’s location, bank ATM, unmanned terminal like a gas station and inserted your chip or swiped the card and your personal and financial data was skimmed off the card. Most devices scammers use today connect to open WiFi networks and transmit the information instantly.


Once the scammers have the data, they sell it, make counterfeit cards, or add to their electronic wallet on a device.


Once your bank verifies the card and the device, the scammers have your card to use just about anywhere.
