Beware credit & debit card users! ‘Tap to Pay’ feature may get you easily robbed; watch shocking video

Carrying a huge amount of cash is rare these days. Apart from the fear of getting robbed, there is a fear of losing money under certain unpredictable circumstances as well. People these days are going cashless and prefer to carry credit or debit cards apart from UPI payment options. 

There is a fear of losing your hard-earned money if your card is hacked and misused after you lose your wallet. But, do you know, credit and debit card users may get easily robbed even though they don’t lose their cards?

Yes, the smart tech features that come with the credit or debit card can help fraudsters to rob you under your nose. The recently integrated ‘Tap to Pay’ feature may leave you bankrupt.

Here we bring a video that will leave you shocked.

In the video, a man can be seen giving a demo while carrying a Card Swipe Machine in his hand. As can be seen on the display of the card swipe machine, the machine is asking to ‘present card’ while some amount is entered for payment. 

The man walks towards a youth busy with something. Meanwhile, the man takes the machine closer to his back pocket where the youth had kept his wallet. 

A few moments later the payment starts processing and the transaction got approved.

The payment got approved due to the ‘Tap to Pay’ option for which carrying the card physically or tapping it manually on the machine is not required. 

Well, this is certainly a warning for everyone using credit or debit cards enabled with the ‘Tap to Pay’ option. 

The video shared on Twitter by El JUST has gone viral on social media and netizens have expressed shock over the video.
