Avoid Being the Victim of Credit Card Fraud
Are you aware of how many ways there are for thieves to take
access of your credit card accounts and make unauthorised
charges against your account? Simply by rummaging through old
receipts that you have thrown out or left somewhere public, or
by a shop assistant quickly scribbling down your card details
while they are out of your sight, or by an untrustworthy seller
who you give your details to on the phone, by mail or on the
internet, your private account details can be taken and abused
by anyone.
While most of these situations are quite rare, and there are
safety measures in place to avoid the abuses they highlight, it
is a fact that credit card fraud and identity theft is a growing
problem that is costing the financial services industry more and
more each year. Therefore it is important to be aware of the
potential dangers and be familiar with a few simple steps you
can take to reduce the risk that you will become the victim of
identity theft.
Take The Right Steps
One of the simplest steps you can take is to sign all your cards
on the signature strip on the back as soon as they arrive. You
can also consider carrying your cards separately from your
wallet and driver's licence so that if someone were to find
them, they wouldn't necessarily have your identity and address.
Keep your pin numbers etc. somewhere safe and never with your
cards. If it is possible, the safest thing to do is to memorise
and then destroy pin numbers.
If your card is out of sight during a transaction try to see
what is going on behind the counter and seek to get it back as
soon as possible. While still relatively rare, there is a lot of
information on your card, which can be copied and used later on.
You should destroy receipts if you do not need them. You should
also check carefully all your monthly statements and make sure
that all charges were in fact made by you. IF you have any
doubts, contact your card issuer immediately to sort it out.
Do's and Don'ts
Never leave your cards lying around where others can get access
to them and don't lend your card to anyone. Don't sign blank
receipts and never give your account details over the phone, by
mail or on the Internet unless you are sure you are dealing with
a company that you know and can trust.
If you do suspect fraud, or if you lose your cards, report it
immediately to your card issuer. By following these simple steps
you should be able to considerably reduce the risks of card
fraud being perpetrated against you.
