Credit Card Protection for When You Go Out

Which of these will help you avoid theft or identity theft when you leave home?

  1. Carry all your personal ID and credit cards in your purse.

  2. Lock your credit cards in your car for safekeeping.

  3. Pay attention when cashiers ring up your credit card purchases.

"C" is correct. When you go out, restrict the pieces of personal ID and credit cards you carry. Avoid locking these in the car, where thieves can access them once you're gone. When you pay for items, shield your card with your hand so that others cannot see it. Also avoid providing personal information, like your name, address, or account number, verbally. Write it down instead.
