Before you go anywhere make sure you get an RFID Secure Wallet or Mans Shoulder Bag!
The Shoulder Bag is invaluable mate,as is the RFID Wallet!
I used mine all over and felt safe!

I also got a small backpack that also had RFID safe pockets!
Cheers and Happy Holiday!

I wonder just how old that video clip is. We had something similar on TV here almost two years ago. Since then the credit cards isssued here have an anti copy device fitted. The new secure chip is now almost impossible to copy.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Rather safe than sorry!
I would rather walk around looking a bit of a naana,but feeling safe in the fact that my personal details are secure ,you would be a Big Man,if all your details were stolen wouldnt you!

PS As a matter of fact the Mens Shoulder Bag is very much in fashion !! If you look around you will see many Men walking around with them these days! Its called keeping up with the times!

OK Doc, I take your point and believe me, there was no offense intended. I was just having a little lighthearted mess room banter. It can be a welcome change at times when the site can get bogged down with gloom and doom. Again, no insult intended, I'll just shut up.
