- Carry cards that you use infrequently. Keep them in
a
safe place
- Give card numbers to "telephone survey" people
claiming
to work for card companies, or to unknown callers
- Leave your cards
anywhere in your automobile, even
if it is locked
- Leave your cards unsecured or unattended anywhere,
even at
work or in a hotel/motel room
- Treat your cards casually. They are
worth money, so make sure they
are returned promptly by clerks
- Be fooled by "Good Samaritan" callers
who say they have found
your cards and promise to mail them to your right away. This gives
thieves time to run up charges. CALL THE ISSUER IMMEDIATELY!
- Ever lend your cards to anyone
- Allow your cards out of your sight
when paying for products or
services, if possible
- Keep your PIN in your wallet or purse
- Write your PIN on your
card
