I had a couple of thin 'silver coloured' card holders from a police 'crime prevention' stall. According to them, they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreco Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 A couple of sheets of aluminium foil, one either side of your cards in your wallet will do the same thing Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Wallet style phone case and place the card closest to the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I refuse to believe that RFID skimming (in the manner that these wallets are designed to "protect") happens. Nice marketing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGER.BRAD Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I simply disabled the cards chip/power source, now I just use chip and pin. A friends card was scammed for a few hundred quid after he lost it ,it was still used after reporting it lost, another friend had his card swiped whilst in London ( serves him right going to that dump) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkin Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I've had one for about 2 years now, never had an issue with any of my cards being scammed. For a fiver its better than what can happen if they do scam your cards. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Just stick a fine blade 5-10mm into each edge of the card and kill the antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have had my wallet for 10 years or so. Got it when first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 To those asking if it happens I have spoken to a few bar/waiting staff who claim to have had problems with contactless picking up the wrong card when having bills split at a table. Whilst it may not be evidence of malicious use it is enough to make me kill the antenna in my cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
