OT cell phones and credit cards

I read this warning on another group and thought I'd share.

Be on the alert for people holding their cell phones standing near you when
you're using your credit card. Scam artists can use their phones to take a
photo of your card and steal your information.

That is going to take one good camera phone. I can barely read the numbers
on my credit card in good light when I need to order something online.

DH got a new cell phone with extra-large numbers (they're huge) on the lighted
screen. I made terrible fun of him at first, but it's really nice for the
bifocal crowd.

I WANT ONE I have to get out my reading glasses for mine.

I hate my cell phone. Partly cause AT*T has horrible coverage around here.

And I didn't care about getting one with a color screen, till I saw that
even in black and white they are easier to read than grey and green.

I don't use the phone that much since I'm deaf, but still need it for
emergencies and text messaging and for an electronic phone book.

my husband made the same observation. Still, it never hurts to be aware of
the people around you when you're shopping.

Oh man, that would be nice, especially for glove wearers in cold weather
regions! I'm always misdialing with my gloves on.

Incidentally, my phone has one of those voice-dial features where you just
say the name and it dials it for you.. when I first set it up, whenever I
tried to call my DH ("Dave"), I would say "Dave!" and it would say "Dialing
Raisa" (girl I work with) or "Calling Mom and Dad". LOL.. dang thing would
NOT call my DH for anything. So I changed "Dave" to "Goober" and now it
works and says "Calling Goober" LOL!

Considering that phone cameras have very poor pixel rates, so
very poor definition.
