Important Safety Tips for Credit Card Users
Do Not Provide Your Credit Card Number To Strangers
If you are contacted by strangers through telephone or email,
and ask for your card details claiming that they card for your
credit card issuer, do not provide any information to them.
Make Sure That You Call The Right Customer Service Number
When you need to contact the customer service team, do not
randomly call any number that you find on 3rd party websites
thinking that you are calling your card issuer bank. A little
caution can go a long way in securing the safety of your
account.

Before Making Purchases On The Internet, Activate Free Fraud
Protection
Activating the anti-fraud protection feature guarantees greater
protection for your online purchases, allowing you to prevent any
fraudulent use of your card on the web and avoid unwanted charges
on your account.
Be Careful When You Shop OnlineRead carefully the conditions of
service and any contractual clauses that you can become bound to by
entering your card details on the website.Do not trust offers that
seem "incredibly beneficial" if they are not provided by companies
you know and trust, as can come with hidden unpleasant
surprises.
Subscribe To The SMS Service Provided By Your Bank
When your card is stolen or lost, you might easily panic and
forget the contact number of the customer service department of
your bank. Hence, you should save on your cell phone the contact
numbers of the Customer Service department of your credit card
issuer.
SMS
Pay A Lot Of Attention To Phishing by E-MailIdentifying
fraudulent emails -
In general, such fraudulent e-mails contain a generic message
requesting personal information for reasons unspecified (e.g.
expiry, loss, technical problems).They make use of 'intimidating'
tones, for example by threatening to block of the card in case the
card holder fails to respond.They come from very long web addresses
that contain unusual characters and often from unknown email
domains.
You Should Verify The Source Of An Email Before Replying To
It.
Generate Such Passwords That Are Not So Easy To Understand
When you create your password, make sure that it is composed of
the initials of a phrase that you can easily recall. It should be
associated with a situation familiar only to you and should not be
associated with your personal data. If possible, use combinations
of alphanumeric characters (abcd1234 etc.).
Avoid using very common words or those that relate to your
private or professional life (eg. names, social security number,
date of birth, car license number, employee ID number etc.)
