flag Minnesotans warned of "ghost tapping" scams stealing funds from tap-to-pay cards in crowded areas.

flag The Better Business Bureau is warning Minnesotans about a rising scam called "ghost tapping," where criminals use wireless devices to steal funds from tap-to-pay cards or phones without physical contact, often in crowded places like festivals or markets. flag The scam exploits close-range transaction data, making it hard to detect. flag Authorities urge vigilance during the holiday shopping season, advising people to keep distance during payments, avoid high-pressure donation requests—especially from unfamiliar charities—and monitor accounts for unauthorized charges. flag The FBI also recommends verifying the legitimacy of any unsolicited payment requests.
