Keep a watch out for people standing near you in the checkout line at
retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., that have a cell
phone in hand. With the new camera cell phones, they can take a picture
of your credit card, which gives them your name, number, and expiration
date. Identification theft is one of the fastest growing scams today,
and this is just another example of the means that are being used.
So...be aware of your surroundings. Please forward to all you friends
and family.
I'd say they're getting pretty desperate. All of the images I've ever seen come from those phones are pretty poor. While I'd guess that the images can be cleaned up with today's advanced photo enhancing software (photoshop and etc) it'd probably prove a bit challenging?
