As most cards seem to have this rdif sign I have found a cheap way to secure my cards. Bought a nice cigarette case from a charity shop, checked it snapped shut tightly & only paid £1.50!
As it is very slim it holds 3/4 cards safely & fits neatly in a handbag/pocket.

That's a good idea. Will any metal block the signal?
There are loads on Amazon prices start from £1.50 upwards.
Contact your bank and ask for a card without the feature.
I have one like this:

Does it work hc?
It does!
I'll get me that nice purple one then. Thanks :)

It does say in the advert
///Aluminium metal prevents hacking or accidental reading of your contactless payment cards and protects cards from demagnetization damages///
I don't always believe what I read in Amazon blurb, I'd rather have a reliable opinion.

To Rockyracoon. Check out various web site re rdif. some of the reviews on the Amazon site have buyers saying their's have come apart or the hinges broke.
After checking I have 2 of these cards,so the cigarette case is slim..
The Wallets for sale are probably ok if you carry several cards but they seem to be quite bulky.
It's not really a scam though is it. It's an idiocy and an unnecessary risk.
Plus a way to spend your money without realising how quickly you are going through it.

It's RFID - Radio-frequency identification.

No, amazing what a simple typo can do.
Pedantic point:
Smart cards (which your post clearly refers to) don't use RFID technology:
