"tapped 7 times in the last 2 months for £20/per hit"
That's what I told my wife. Bank check determined it was all spent on crisp at the shop over the road from my work. What a coincidence?! (seriously though I didn't realise this sort of thing happened - is it mainly to people with wallets/purses in bags?)
olaf_von_pokemon-
Police have said that the person carrying out the scam has a card reader in their bag and they simply just brush against you or stand close enough in a line. I assume they can locate when the hits happened via the bank.
I'm in London during the summer and I know how tight it can be on the trains. Hoping a good protective wallet could stop this from happening to myself.

Anyone suggest an RFID wallet. Tried and tested.
Mixed reviews online about them not working and reviews saying best in the world.
Secretary in work uses her husbands card, with consent, while he's away (Pilot) and neither of them had really been checking the statements. As the card is contactless and in her handbag, she's been tapped 7 times in the last 2 months for £20/per hit.
