Don’t Give Out Your Digits to Just Anyone
Never give out your credit card number over the phone. Unless you are 100% confident of who you are dealing with, especially where someone has called you. They could be scam artists looking for credit card numbers.
Shred everything that has your name and account number on it. Thieves have been known to go through peoples mail to find credit card account information
Keep all of your passwords in a safe place. Do not write them down, but there are just too many. Saving them in the cloud makes it easy for hackers to get at them. Save them locally.
Go over your statement in detail to review and avoid any charges that are not yours. Thieves love to charge small amounts on cards to test them and to go under the radar.
Always confirm your address on your account statements.
Both text alerts and email alerts can let you know when charges above a specified limit are charged to your card. Consequently, this is an excellent method of keeping tabs on your account automatically.
Report your unknown charges immediately. If you wait too long, the credit card company may dispute some of the charges which you could then become liable for.
Protect your Credit Card by following these steps. Pay attention to the details about what is being charged to your account.
