VU+ for the nice awareness 

let many read this

Turning off NFC in phone or card's contactless txn won't help much I think in such cases, as if you read carefully, those scammer boys at shop didn't do any txn as such. Instead, the machine in their pocket only read the card details, and then the txn was done probably online outside India. So even if you turn off contactless txns of your card, your card will still always keep emitting card details, and txn will be blocked by bank only at the time of txn when a contactless txn is done.

In such cases, you need to do 2 things:
1. Block international txns
2. Get a RFID blocking wallet

If RFID blocking wallet isn't cutting for you for any reason, like you're just not getting a good looking rfid blocking wallet of your choice or any other reason, you can also buy a pair of RFID blocking cards. They're as thin as any credit cards and can be kept in wallet, without making the wallet overall a lot fatter.. Best to keep these cards in the outermost currency pocket (as in image below), so that when your wallet is in your pocket with any side facing outside, these cards will just block any such unwanted contacts. BUT DON'T FORGET TO TEST EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE CARDS BY FIRST TRYING YOURSELF MANUALLY AT ANY POS MACHINE.

Thanks for the thread, vu+. And thank you @atx88 @UnderNation

as soon as i get credit card i disable

1. all international txn

2. tap and pay (as i often travel to crowded place who know somecarry something electronic)

3. ATM withdrawl (if osmeone found my card and pin from the CCTV at shop the first thing hee will do is to rush to a atm and withdraw 'cash is teh king')

4.to more 420 bank like RBL i even block domestic txn too

@guest_999 this is why rfid wallet are a good choice
