A friend of mine at GenCon just posted on facebook that her credit card info was apparently stolen by remote RF reader by someone at the con.

If you are at Gencon (and carry credit or debit cards with you) you might want to check with your bank, just to be safe.

How dare some d-bag with an RF reader ruin this glorious day of Wave 8 news! Forshame!

Any con is a place for con artists. These guys do fishing by drag nets they go to a crowded place and see what they can get.

My cards don't have rfid capability and i like it that way!!

I only take cash to events so I can't spend more than is wise.

Sadly that's modern life tech has good and bad uses.

Yeah. I'll stick to my standard EftPoss cards thank you very much

Thanks for the warning.

Fortunately, I only carried beads, blankets, tobacco, and smallpox as means of exchange, so while I didn't get an Imperial Raider I was able to settle Manhattan.
