It's as simple as stealing money from a contactless card

Mike Lee, a Facebook user, posted a video on the social network to alert people of the vulnerability of credit cards with a contactless payment system.

Lee makes a recording in which one man approaches another who is in front of an ATM.

"The victim does not know what I am going to do," says the man, holding a point-of-sale terminal in his hand and bringing it into the victim's pocket, where he has his wallet.

We can then see how the credit card is activated, and the payment is made.

With contactless payment cards, you can not make large transactions. These have a limit.

If the purchase exceeds an x ​​amount, the terminal requests the customer's access code.

However, if the owner of the card does not use the mobile notification service on the latest transactions, he could be a victim of one of these thefts.

In Miami, for example, there are many Cubans who were involved in theft of cards although they operate in other ways, sometimes even by changing the code plastic reading.
