The only reason I was kinda like WTF is that my bank normally calls me if they're any weird sudden out of state charges. Honestly is just pretty damn hilarious. I mean, were the criminals like, "Oh is the card number ready to use? It is? DILDOS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!"? I mean, I really just armed a lot of criminals with pizza and dildos.

Sorry to hear that bro but thankfully they will sort it out. The resort at the Dragon at Deals Gap is famous for stealing guests CC info. Happens to couple of the Z guys every year.

Is there a device to detect them so I slap the pack of hotdogs on the back of their necks?

lol!

the best defense is awareness, IMO.. they make RFID card holders and wallets that protect from skimming, but that won't necessarily protect someone from gaining access to the records where you've spent your money. there have been skimmers on gas pumps, ATM's, debit/credit machines at grocery stores, etc.. then there are handheld RFID skimmers that someone else mentioned that only need to come within a decent proximity to grab that information.
