And whilst at it , get a pallet load of tin foil and not only make a hat , paper your walls and ceilings with it

Re: Damage to Debit Card from Mobile

I have noticed recently that my phone has a program on it where it can act like my debit card for contactless payments anyway. I'm not sure now after reading your replies whether its such a good idea.

Yes, they could hit you over the head and steal your cash, but they didn't get access to your bank account....

It's all a fore-runner for implementing human RFID chips, inserting them under your skin.

Then bank cards won't exist at all.

Lots of people have already been chipped
