\n

One of the biggest nightmares is finding out that your credit card number has been stolen. You could end up with fraudulent charges that will require lots of time on the phone with your credit card company to straighten out. <\/span><\/p>\n

That<\/span>\u2019s why it is important to protect yourself from all types of credit card fraud. Here is a look at the various ways that your credit card can be stolen, how to protect yourself and what to do if you find out that you have been a victim. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”ways_your_credit_card_information_may_be_stolen” text=”Ways Your Credit Card Information May Be Stolen” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

There are five major ways that your credit card<\/a> information can be stolen. Here\u2019s a look at some of the top ways bad guys can get a hold of your credit card information:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”1_phishing_emails” text=”1) Phishing emails” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

A phishing email is an email where an email will pretend to be from a legitimate company. <\/span><\/p>\n

This company may have a link that will prompt you to enter your credit card information. For instance, you may get a letter from a major company like eBay or Amazon saying that your order is on hold due to a declined credit card. The link will send you to an impersonated webpage, prompting you to enter your credit card information. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure to check the website’s web address to ensure that it is from a legitimate company. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”2_public_wi-fi” text=”2) Public Wi-Fi” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

You may use public wi-fi at a restaurant or a hotel. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, you should avoid using these public wi-fi connections to enter your credit card information. That is because some people can use special “<\/span>snooping”<\/span>\u00a0software to gather your credit card information and steal it. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”3_data_breach” text=”3) Data breach” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

Every once in a while, a large company will have its information stolen. <\/span>That information may include your credit card information. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you receive a notice from a company that your information may have been compromised in a data breach, immediately check your credit card for any fraudulent charges. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”4_spyware_and_malware” text=”4) Spyware and malware” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

A criminal may infect your computer with something known as malware or spyware. With these pieces of software, a criminal can record your keystrokes and be able to gather your credit card information. Spyware or malware is usually delivered to your computer by opening emails sent by the criminal. <\/span><\/p>\n

Never open an email from someone whom you do not know. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”5_dumpster_diving” text=”5) Dumpster diving” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

Some criminals will resort to dumpster diving to grab credit card statements or other information that may have your credit card information. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be sure to rip up any papers that have any of your financial information<\/strong>. If you want to be even safer with your information, run your financial paperwork through a shredder before discarding it. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”how_to_protect_yourself_from_credit_card_fraud” text=”How to protect yourself from credit card fraud” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

We discussed the many ways that criminals can get your credit card information. Now, here are 10 simple steps that you can take to avoid becoming a victim of credit card fraud<\/strong>: <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”1_avoid_answering_suspicious_emails” text=”1) Avoid answering suspicious emails” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

Avoid answering emails with salacious headlines or promises of money or contest winnings. Also, avoid opening emails that appear from addresses that you are unfamiliar with. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mark these emails as spam so the sender will not be able to deliver another email. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”2_avoid_entering_credit_cards_on_public_wi-fi_networks” text=”2) Avoid entering credit cards on public wi-fi networks” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

\n

Instead of entering your credit card on a public wi-fi network, wait until you get home. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also call the company to tell them your credit card information<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”3_rip_up_your_credit_card_statements_and_atm_receipts” text=”3) Rip up your credit card statements and ATM receipts” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Be sure to destroy any information that would have your credit card information on it<\/strong>. This information can include the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Credit card statements<\/li>\n
  • ATM receipts<\/li>\n
  • Sales receipts<\/li>\n
  • Financial budgeting information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”4_never_enter_your_credit_card_through_an_unsecured_website” text=”4) Never enter your credit card through an unsecured website” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

    \n

    Ensure that a website has an HTTPS address and a security certificate before entering your credit card information<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Also, never visit a website if your browser warns you that the site is not safe. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”5_never_sign_a_blank_receipt” text=”5) Never sign a blank receipt” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

    \n

    If someone asks you to sign a receipt for a purchase, make sure you can clearly read the amount. Never sign a blank receipt<\/strong>. Someone can place any amount on the receipt, and it could end up looking legitimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”6_never_give_your_credit_card_number_over_the_phone_to_someone_who_you_don_t_know” text=”6) Never give your credit card number over the phone to someone who you don\u2019t know” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

    \n

    Avoid handing over your credit card information to someone unfamiliar to you. The only things a person needs to make a purchase are:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • your name<\/span><\/li>\n
    • your credit card number<\/span><\/li>\n
    • the card’s expiration date<\/span><\/li>\n
    • the three digital codes on the back of the credit card<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”7_check_your_credit_card_transactions_often” text=”7) Check your credit card transactions often” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      Be sure to check your credit card transactions often to make sure that no one is making any fraudulent purchases. <\/span><\/p>\n

      You can check recent transactions on your online account<\/strong> or call the customer service number on the back of the card. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”8_never_write_your_credit_card_number_on_a_piece_of_paper_or_online” text=”8) Never write your credit card number on a piece of paper or online” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      Avoid writing your credit card on any piece of people. Also, avoid writing your number on an online document where it can be seen and stolen. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”9_keep_your_credit_cards_in_a_secure_place” text=”9) Keep your credit cards in a secure place” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      Be sure to keep your credit cards in a secure place. <\/span><\/p>\n

      If you are at a hotel, you can place the cards in the room’s safe or ask the front desk for their safety deposit box. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”10_don_t_use_an_atm_or_gas_station_pump_that_appears_unsafe” text=”10) Don\u2019t use an ATM or gas station pump that appears unsafe” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      Be sure to avoid inserting your credit card in an ATM or gas station credit card slot that appears to have been tampered with. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”what_to_do_if_you_are_a_victim_of_credit_card_fraud” text=”What to do if you are a victim of credit card fraud” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      If you have been a victim of credit card fraud, you can follow these three steps to get the charges potentially removed from your card. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”1_report_any_questionable_charges_to_your_credit_card_issuer” text=”1) Report any questionable charges to your credit card issuer” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      Call the customer service number on the back of your card and report any questionable charges. Most credit card companies should be able to cancel those transactions if you report them within 30 or 60 days of the purchase. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”2_cancel_your_credit_card” text=”2) Cancel your credit card” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      If your card has been lost or stolen, call the credit card company and cancel the card. The credit card company should be able to send you a new card, with a new number, in a couple of days. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”3_file_a_police_report” text=”3) File a police report” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      You may have to file a police report. Be sure to file the police report in the jurisdiction where the credit card was stolen. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading el_id=”staying_safe_from_credit_card_fraud” text=”Staying safe from credit card fraud” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

      \n

      You don\u2019t have to be a victim of credit card fraud. Be sure to protect your credit card and credit information, check your statement regularly and immediately report any suspicious charges. <\/span><\/p>\n

      With the right vigilance, your credit card information can remain safe<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
