This! Happened to me like 2 weeks ago in Orlando. Got an alert from AMEX about some charge on a card I havent used in years. Ended up being a fraudulent charge even though I still had the card with me. Upon further investigation I realized it was one of those rfid cards (only rfid card I had).

Anyways I was lucky in this case because AMEX caught the transaction and blocked it and since it was a card I never use I just canceled it.
