After serving 17 years as police chief in Dallas, I never thought I'd become a victim myself. But last month while sitting in a medical clinic, my phone buzzed with a bank ALERT… Someone was trying to make a $972 purchase at Walmart with MY card. The thing is, my card was right there in my wallet. I hadn't lost it. Nobody had pickpocketed me. Yet somehow, thieves had my information… As police chief, my first call was to our cybercrime division. Their response STRUCKED me! "Chief, you're the 8th victim this week. This is most likely an RFID scanner attack. Someone stole your card information without ever touching your wallet. And the worst part? We can't do anything about it." They explained that modern credit cards contain tiny RFID chips - they're what lets you tap to pay. But thieves have figured out how to use hidden scanners that activate these chips and steal card information right through clothes and wallets. Some scanners can read cards from up to 3 feet away. "It could be anyone," my head of cybercrime explained. "Someone sitting nearby with a laptop, standing in line behind you, or just walking past with a phone. These scanners are tiny now - some are no bigger than a cell phone." The most frustrating part? As police chief, I had to admit that even I was helpless. Without physical evidence of theft, we can't make arrests. Security cameras are useless - they just show people sitting or walking normally. You can't see the scanning happening. But our cybercrime unit did show me something they use to protect themselves - RFID blocking cards. "Everyone in our division carries one," they explained. "It's the only reliable protection against this type of theft. One card in your wallet blocks all scanning attempts." I ordered one immediately. These blocking cards create an electromagnetic field that scrambles unauthorized scanning attempts - like an invisible shield for your cards. Since getting mine, I've had zero unauthorized charges. But every week, more cases come across my desk - innocent people losing hundreds or thousands of dollars to thieves they never even see. I left the link below where you can get the same RFID blockers our cybercrime unit uses. They're running a 50% off Christmas sale with free shipping, but they sell out fast whenever this deal appears. Don't wait until you get that bank alert like I did. As police chief, I've seen too many families devastated by this invisible crime. Protect yourself now. P.S. Over 300,000 families are already protected, including our entire police force. After becoming a victim myself, I understand why. Don't become another statistic in our crime reports! get protected while you still can.
