| The very size of the video cameras installed in these cell phones, makes them almost invisible to unsuspecting victims of credit card identity fraud.
Here is a possible scenario. You pull out your Visa at the WalMart checkout, and run the card through the machine. The person standing behind you in line has his cell phone to his ear, and is talking. You don't pay much attention. So many people have cellphones nowadays. What you don't know is that this person has just taken a photograph of your credit card, and can now use this information, along with any other personal information he or she might have gleaned from you, to use your credit card to charge items for him/herself.
