Question:

Can the cridet card reader you get for your phone steal my personal information?

I went to a garage sale last weekend and they had a phone with the credit card reader on it I was scared to use it at first but really wanted this 3d flats rent 150' tv that never been used and I got for a real bargain for only 100 bucks and it works beautifully no problems with it at all. But I'm scared they might steal my credit card information I been watching my credit card staus online and nothing yet but I'm scared in due time it might happen, can it?

Answer:

I use the Square card reader on my Android phone for my business. As a merchant who uses it, I assure you that I can#x27;t see any of your information after you#x27;ve swiped your card. All info is withheld from me, so you have nothing at all to worry about. It#x27;s just as secure as swiping your card at Walmart or McDonald#x27;s. You#x27;ve got nothing to worry about. I hope I could help ease your mind. Some people are paranoid at first when they see me use my card reader, but I explain to them and it#x27;s fine. My regular customers don#x27;t pay any attention to it amp; new people talk about how cool they think it is that I can take credit cards on my smartphone.
