Louisville, Ky., resident Sandra Barker, said she fell victim to Electronic Pickpocketing during a trip to Las Vegas around the time Nevada State Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto issued a statewide consumer warning about the crime.
"Thankfully, only two unauthorized charges went unnoticed," but it was clear the thieves had her RFID-enabled credit card's number, Barker said. "It happened quickly, ruined my trip, took three hours to resolve, and since, I've decided to protect myself."
