Card Armor Warns Users Of Gift Cards To Be Vigilant Against Fraudulent Behavior This Festive Season

Card Armor Sleeves Prevent Identity Theft

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, December 03, 2015 ) Sunnyvale, CA -- Digital gift cards are a prime target for fraudsters and Card Armor is warning people that are receiving or giving these items this Christmas to take extra precautions. "These gift cards are essentially a form of cash, and they are very appealing to thieves", explains CEO and founder of Card Armor, Ms. Fabian. "The problem with gift cards is that they can be immediately spent or re-sold on the black market or through legitimate gift card swap websites if they fall into the wrong hands. With more people using gift cards, there is an increase in criminal behavior because of the growing accessibility. We need to be very wary of this", added Ms. Fabian. One of the solutions to this problem is RFID blocking sleeves.

Card Armor has been retailing RFID blocking sleeves for some time now and is reporting a growing demand for this product, as Ms. Fabian explains: "Our RFID Blocking Sleeves have been popular since we first launched the product, however more recently we have had a rapid increase in consumer demand. Many people have contacted us because their credit card information has been stolen, or they have been a victim of identity theft. We have also seen an increase in the unauthorized use of gift cards. While we acknowledge that gift cards are a great idea, we would like to encourage people to also consider providing a RFID Blocking Sleeve when buying this item. This way you can have confidence that the person using the gift card is who it is intended for", added Ms. Fabian.

The Card Armor RFID Blocking Sleeves stop unauthorized access to sensitive data via RFID chips. Not only is RFID technology used on credit/debit cards and gift cards, it's also used in driver's licenses, passports, social security cards and many other items. The personal information held in these chips can be exploited by criminals if not properly secured. The RFID Blocking Sleeves give users added peace of mind in the knowledge that their information is safe. These sleeves will securely hold cards in wallets, money clips, purses and other storage areas while they are not in use.

The Card Armor RFID Blocking Sleeves are a unique patent-pending design. They feature a transparent cover and black back. This keeps the information secure, while still allowing the user to identify which card they want to use at any particular time. The Card Armor Blocking Sleeves come in sets of 6 to enable use for oneself and to give as gifts to friends and family. They are currently on sale on Amazon.com in the lead up to Christmas.
