It would seem that the scare monger proposing the crime of skimming are now basing their claims in a faith based area because there is no evidence of the crime happening it must be happening. In order that a crime has occurred any proponent of the crime MUST produce evidence of it failure to do so means there is no EVIDENCE. Please before making claims of a RFID Skimming Armageddon please produce evidence of it and then the argument will be complete before that such claims are simply made in order to sell PRODUCTS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.241.166 ( talk) 09:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
This last two points would be speculation, generally inappropriate for Wikipedia, but the fact (according to Slate) that there is no known example of this occuring "in the wild", makes the speculation that incidents may be underreported inappropriate without noting that no incidents have been reported. It is not possible to trace what skimming method that was used when a card fraud has occured. The only facts available that is relevant in this matter is that the Card Not Present frauds has increased rapidly and at the same time the banks have switched to more unsecure credit cards. Even if it were true that no police officer has catched an RFID skimmer red handed, it is not evidence that the crime has not happened.( 212.247.125.169 ( talk) 07:36, 29 August 2018 (UTC))
https://www.csoonline.com/article/3199009/security/why-you-dont-need-an-rfid-blocking-wallet.html This does not seem like a reliable source as it seems to be biased. The article states that modern payment cards are in fact encrypted. This is both true and not true. When a payment card is used to make a purchase at a merchant, the information regarding the transaction itself is encrypted. However, the card number, expiration date and purchase history is not encrypted. There are several videos on Youtube demonstrating when they use a scanner or mobile phone to retrieve the card's information. This information can then be used to make a Card Not Present fraud online.( 212.247.125.169 ( talk) 07:36, 29 August 2018 (UTC))
In other words, it may be notable, but as a myth, not as a plausible occurrence. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:31, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
At the present time, only the WREG source which I recovered from Snopes is likely a reliable source; HowThingsWork doesn't seem to have a good editorial staff to verify their statements, and all the other sources seem to be vendors of products which may or may not help stop RFID skimming, reviewing either their products, or competing products. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

The sources in this article are terrible and it mixes up various types of fraud - there is actually nothing in here about actual RFID skimming which seems to be a largely mythical crime. Cameron Scott ( talk)
