Last year there was an article how Apple Pay was making it easier for scammers to use cards. I believe this particular vector was patched by having to authenticate that you are trully adding your card via bank authorization. However, Mobile Payment is susceptible to fraud and thieves will find a way.

However, this does illustrate a point that safety concerns are valid. Myself, I'm a proponent of mobile payment but I understand the inherited hesitation from some folk about security.
