Check your credit cards
Posted: Feb 24, 2013
If you've gotten a new credit card recently, it may have an RFID chip embedded in it. It will have ))))) printed on it. I think Chase cards are using it, but others will follow. These cards can be scanned by anyone with a scanner and get your information. You can call the company and request a card without the chip, or buy an RFID protective sleeve or wallet (dirt cheap on Amazon). Big brother is watching us!;
Do you literally mean - )))))
[ In Reply To ..]So, next to the credit card number there will be )))))?
Yep literally - shipwrecked
[ In Reply To ..]Yes, a bunch of half-parentheses, usually printed on the back.
If you want to use - a
[ In Reply To ..]credit card while traveling abroad, you will need to have one with the chip. Most foreign merchants, at least in Europe and Japan, will no longer accept CCs with magnetic strips.
FYI, the government (i.e. Big Brother) isn't interested in your credit card information.
Not big brother I'm concerned about - anon
[ In Reply To ..]It's the dudes scanning the cards illegally!
Big Brother knows virtually your every move - Fairminded
[ In Reply To ..]because 'we the people' are so fearful we allowed it to take away our right to privacy... (remember the UNpatriot Act) it wasn't the start but it certainly was the nail in the coffin.
Feel safer?
Yes, I had that issue in England this year. - They also are big on signatures.

My Credit Card, His Credit Cards And The MoneyMay 10, 2014
I have a credit card that I had prior to marriage. My husband's name is not on it. I owe more than I should on the card and today my husband was asking about what if something should happen to me, would the credit card company be able to a) hold him responsible for my debt or b) put a lien against the home we both own for my debt. If anyone knows about this would love to have an answer. Thanks. ...
Credit Cards & Lending Money To The PeopleSep 16, 2010
Does it bother you at all if they say they cannot pay anything back yet when they seem to be running out spending money left and right on random stuff while that interest on that card starts going up. You know it will get to you at some point you just do not know how long it will take and then it bothers you that after so much time these cards were paid off and now there is a balance on them, however it was a choice said card holder made and I just think said person is feeling odd about h ...

Bad Credit?Jun 22, 2011
Does anyone know of a good place to get an unsecured loan or credit card if you have poor to bad credit? With my job being cut beyond belief and my husbands overtime gone we are struggling a bit with bills. Things are getting paid, but not always on time. The biggest problem is one of our credit cards. We both have an account and both are 1-2 months behind in the payment they want. I have sent some money on the account, but not the full minimum amount due. The problem is when I do pay on these c ...

I Can Not Take Credit For Writing This But I AmJul 23, 2010
I know that it will be followed by another silly tit-for-tat argument instead of some real, honest, self reflection, I am sorry to say. I find it sadly humorous that a certain official increased the national debt from 5 Trillion to 11 Trillion dollars in 8 years, more than any administration, basically bankrupting the Treasury and adding a tax burden of gigantic proportions to future American citizens. I find it sadly humorous that during the grounding of all aircraft just after S ...

USA Credit Rating DowngradeAug 08, 2011

To most of the people this is addressed to, you already know that the USA is in trouble and you understand the magnitude of the problem. However, this breakdown is so simple that it’s worth sending onto those in our address books who may not yet been able to put in perspective, just what is really going on. B ...

I gave no information whatsoever and told the woman three times I am ...

Excessive Credit Card Fee'sJan 23, 2015
I am going to be calling my credit card (used to be Care Credit, now is Synchrony bank). I am just wondering what y'all think. Excessive credit card interest charges. I get my statements, pay my bills, a couple times late if I don't get paid on time. No where in the statement did I see anything that would lead me to realize they were going to charge me this, and I didn't realize they did it for 2 months (my fault for not reading the statement closer) My payment ...

Eileen Aj Connelly, AP Personal Finance Writer, On Sunday February 21, 2010, 2:29 pm EST NEW YORK (AP) -- Your next credit card statement is going to contain an ugly truth: how much that card really costs to use. Now, thanks to a long-awaited law that goes into effect Monday, you'll know that if you pay the minimum on a $3,000 balance with a 14 percent interest rate, it could take you 10 years to pay off.
