Same thing happen to my daughter last year when she went on a cruise. Came home and had all kinds of charges racked up and she had to make all the calls and get everything straightened out. Crooks now have a device they can hold in their hands and just point at someones pocket or purse and scan your card numbers. Have been hearing about these scanners for a while now. The only way I have heard of prtecting against these is to wrap your wallet or card in tin foil. These people ould have a field day at any store.
