Not a myth! There was a programme on BBC 1 called RIP OFF Britain several months ago (Angela Ripon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville) where a guy just brushed past one the ladies purse's and he cloned her card and then paid for an item. It was a demonstration on how to do it without her seeing it and feeling it being done. No approved traders bank required.
