Visa, Mastercard, & You + RFID = The Mark of the Beast

Have you ever taken the time to look around you and notice that Visa, Mastercard, and other forms of electronic payment are becoming the 'preferred method of payment,' vs. checks and cash? For some, the use of electronic payments, has managed to make their lives easier.

Not only can they avoid the check-cashing lines and rude tellers, but they can make simple online transactions from the comfort of their home office. For others, this new age of electronic transactions has brought a type of 'digital wild west' to their lives. Instead of being the victims of 'old-time cattle rustlers,' they have now become the victims of Identity thieves..

The Bible said that in the last days that People were going to get worse, have no self-control, and just not care about other people. This type of heartless behaviour can be seen in the thief who empties out the accounts of an elderly couple, taking what they've worked for all their lives in a matter of seconds, and in the hacker that develops a computer virus intended to steal your personal information.

So where do you think that all of this is going to take us?

How many ways can you outsmart the most devious thief/hacker?

No matter what procedures or encryptions are set in place to deal with the problem, there will always be at least 1 or 2 hackers that will outsmart those government and banking institutions.

And once they've discovered how to crack the code, they'll just simply pass the info along, leaving the cycle to start all over again.

That is, until someone offers a 'solution' to the problem.


More to come in next week's post...........
