Passport Cover RFID Blocking 964932

What are RFID's?

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips are embedded in hundreds of credit cards, debit cards and easy-pay-cards – even in the new passport. Criminals can easily purchase cardreaders to “Sniff out” and steal the personal information on
your RFID card – without it ever leaving your wallet, this crime is often referred to as “electronic pick-pocket.”

How can I protect myself against identity fraud?

Any kind of metallic shield can block radio waves from being transmitted. You could wrap your cards in aluminum foil. But there is a more professional way to protect yourself. The Buxton RFID collection of wallets by Buxton have metallic fabric layers sewn into the credit card pockets, keeping thieves from electronically reaching into your pocket.
