Why Do We See Illusions?

When it is there

In fact, what you see below is an RFID reader kit, called RFIDuino. Then the person takes that harvested information to their lair of evil and decrypts information to literally make copies of your bank or credit cards. At which point the Rolex shopping spree begins and you get stuck with the tab…’
