- Reading: NFC / cell phone scams?
I'm in Miami so I might just have my guard up high. Sitting at the bar some dude came up and placed his cell phone next to mine and asked to watch it while he was in the bathroom. I said sure not thinking anything of it. When he came back I noticed he had shorts with pockets and started acting all sketchy. I asked him a few questions and he started talking jibberish with a dumb smirk like a clown. I finished my drink and bounced. After mulling it over I looked through my settings and NFC was left on.
Anyways, what the fuck was this faggot up to? Do I need to wipe my phone. I don't do anything stupid like enter my credit card in GAPPS. What could he get like pictures and contacts. I'm running android with cyangonmod if that helps

It's the NSA, anon.

He has your identity, phone number, home address, social security number, passwords, e-mail addresses, bank account info, and possibly more.

So you can't do anything just placing a phone next to another?

Can you explain what this means? Google only gives me clickbait. I wiped my phone just before this trip only loaded my contact and photos.
If you've never used NFC before, chances are, it'll prompt a window asking for permission before doing whatever the guy wanted to do. If you toggled the "don't show this again" then he may have sent you some dick pics.

Nothing.
Literally nothing.

Yep, he hacked you, bro.
You'll have to format your phone, drill through its HDD and then bathe it in termites to remove any evidance in case he wants to assess your facebook page.

>enabling pictures at work
Pockets probably had holes in them.
>>52196714
Now that's an arse.
Not those massive fat things that low test betas and niggers seem to enjoy.
He had another phone in his pockets and was wanking off to you via camera on his other phone. He came everywhere in the toilets, that's why he be smilin'
Damn you Americans are easily fooled.

probably just a prank or "social experiment", bro
