Protect yourself
1. Keep your PIN number private.
2. Use only secure websites when sharing personal information or buying something online. Look for websites with addresses starting with “https” or with a padlock image in the address bar.
3. Avoid using public computers at libraries or Internet cafés to do your banking or online shopping.
4. If you must use a public computer, clear the history and cache of the computer when you finish using it.
5. Avoid giving out credit card information over the telephone in public.
6. Review your credit card statement monthly.
7. Report any transactions you didn’t make or approve to your credit card issuer immediately.
