Unless you’ve been living under a rock the past 16 months . . . you’ve most likely heard a certain “A” list actor screaming about What’s in Your Wallet?
If you’re like me . . . you probably thought he was pitching some gimmicky credit card!
Ahh, but you’d be woefully mistaken like I was . . .
According to Reliable Sources, err ( The National Enquirer ); I discovered our acting buddy was at his wit’s end frantically trying to locate the litany of credit cards swiped right under his nose!
Unbeknown to Mr. Sammie, while taking in the aroma of his latte at the neighborhood StarBlends Coffee, a little blonde, who we’ll call Goldilocks, just happened to be eyeing him; while casually fiddling on what seemed to be her iPhone!
Moments later . . . the cute little blonde jubilantly skipped out of the cafe and into the arms of her Three Little Pigs . . . (Accomplices!)
They were bouncing off the ceiling . . .
And for good reason! Goldie, had just pilfered a king’s ransom in less than two minutes from Big Sammie’s wallet electronically; and was “Skipping To My Lou” thru Prada, Gucci and Nordstrom milking his wealth!
For those still residing in Bedrock, ( living under a rock)
this fairy tale, is now the new reality for (e)
thieves in the 21st century!
The Goldilocks who’d break into your loft, nibble on your porridge, then waltz off with the 62-inch flat screen, has gone digital.
To quote one “aboveboard” thief, ( there’s no real money in that racket anymore)
Savvy card thieves, now rob you blind by electronically pickpocketing you while you’re sipping on an ex-large Cinnamon Dolce Latte ( my favorite),munching on a big Mac; or browsing the aisles of Publix Super Market, where shopping is a pleasure!
Consider yourself . . . lucky if you’re only looted for alousy few hundred bucks. The well-heeled band of merry thieves . . . often elevate the theft by combining your credit card info with the personal data i.e. ( address, photos, and employer info you’ve plastered all over Facebook,
It’s quite possible while you’re wrestling with “Who Moved Your Cheese”, Goldilocks and the Three Little Pigs, will be resting comfortably, in a brand new RV thanks to What (was in) Your Wallet!
Ok ok, I know I hit you with a sky is falling, doomsday scenario! But there’s light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.
Retailers and financial institutions recently began mailing (new) Credit & Debit cards crafted with (new) antitheft technology that makes it practically impossible ((( right !!! ))) for Credit Card thieves to zero out your accounts.
In the interim, if you’re on pins and needles about master thieves stealing What’s In Your Wallet . . .
you might consider bullet proofing your cards, by wrapping them in aluminum foil . . . it confuses the enemy.
If you suck at arts and crafts, ( like I Do) it might be more feasible for you to grab the new anti-theft wallet from a local retailer. It’ll probably set you back a cozy $15.
Psst . . . just to be on the safe side, I’ll be using cash when shopping for my new anti-theft wallet!
