Are you Protected from RFID?

Did you know that the Leather and Cowhide Wallets that you find at Rockin’ Rodeo Mom are RFID protected? 

What does RFID protected mean?

RFID is what thieves may use to try to steal your sensitive information through your purse or bag. Identity theft has grown into an epidemic that affects millions of individuals and families every year. One of the most common forms of identity theft is what is known as radio frequency identification skimming or RFID skimming and an RFID-blocking wallet can protect you from this crime!

RFID skimming involves the use of a device known as RFID scanners that reads and duplicates the information contained within credit cards and other forms of identification. Thieves are able to use their devices at a distance to wirelessly download information from your cards, including the card number, expiration date, and CVV code.  They transfer that information onto a blank credit card and proceed to use that new card with the stolen information as if it was their own.

A few years ago, these thieves would need to stand right up next to their victim and find creative ways to avoid suspicion while using their devices to scan the information from a credit card or passport.  Now, the technology has advanced to the point where it can easily be done from several feet or even several yards away. The process is fast, silent, and almost entirely undetectable.

RFID-blocking wallets function as a virtual antitheft device that blocks the electromagnetic fields emitted by a thief's scanning device. RFID-blocking wallets are lined with a thin layer of conductive material, typically carbon fiber or metal and intercepts the electromagnetic waves emitted from an RFID scanner and diffuses those waves around the wallet without allowing them to penetrate your wallet.
