Nemo reminds us of the importance of contactless fraud awareness

Nemo Group publishes a new blog outlining the key concerns around payment card fraud and its associated contactless technology.

The dealer group publishes its blog as lockdown restrictions begin to ease and businesses begin to open theri doors once again.

The blog outlines four top tips reminding us to always be on our guard. These tips include:

1. Regularly check your bank statements – By taking 5 or 10 minutes to go through your bank statement at the end of each month you will not only spot contactless fraud but card fraud as a whole.
2. Think about where you carry your wallet or purse – We tend to be more observant of people in front of us so carrying your RFID cards in your front pocket means you are less likely to be targeted by thieves with scanning devices.
3. Purchase an RFID wallet – Metal layers fused into the body of RFID wallets block the radio waves between a skimming device and your contactless cards. Be sure to get one that is SGS TUV tested and approved.
4. Look after your ID pass – It’s more and more common for businesses to issue staff with security passes to access their building, so make sure you keep yours secure with a tried and tested RFID SECURE Security pass holder.

Nemo says businesses should always prepare for any kind of payment fraud to stop themselves becoming victims of the crime.
