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.

"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?)
