1. Be careful about giving your credit card information
Treat your credit card information like how you would your passwords. Do not share your information with people such as relatives and friends or in such an event, make sure to change all necessary passwords/pin information after lending it. Never give your card information to anyone who calls you about it. Credit card scammers have been known to pose as bank personnel and/or credit card company employees in order to acquire card information. &nbsp;2. Only use trusted e-commerce websites
Make sure the website has <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/thread/6484258084775661569/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://</a> in the address bar on your browser. Never enter your card information on websites that are not familiar. Only use trusted websites. Never respond to phishing emails about products or deals by clicking on the links, instead go to the supposed website and verify if the advertisement is true. &nbsp;3. Properly dispose of anything that has your credit card information on it.
Credit card scammers have been known to sift through rubbish bins in order to obtain personal and/or financial information. Invest in a good shredder and shred everything that has your credit card information on it. You can always go the extra mile and burn it but shredding is a lot easier on the environment.
 &nbsp;4. Make sure your credit card is stored safely
Always have your cards in your wallet or your purse. avoid leaving it on tabletops or even your office desk. With the advances in technology, people can easily take a picture of your credit card and use it to gain information. When traveling, it would be best to just bring one or two cards and leave the rest at home in a secure place.
 &nbsp;5. Immediately report lost or stolen cards
Always report lost or stolen credit cards the soonest possible time. It will greatly reduce the risk of getting fraudulent charges on your account. Even if you only suspect the card to be lost or stolen, report it to your issuing card company in order to be canceled immediately.
