Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Visa’s Fall 2024 report warns of an increase in physical theft in recent months. It involves criminals buying gift cards or other merchandise using stolen payment information they resell or use for money transfers.
According to the report, digital pickpocketing is also on the rise this year. That involves thieves using a mobile device they press against targets to trigger a sale payment. Digital pickpocketing usually occurs in crowded spaces so people need to be aware of their immediate surroundings to avoid falling victim to the scam.
