[AVOID] HOW-To Avoid Credit Card Scams [TIPS]
Over the past many years I've seen many people fall prey to Credit Card Scams over and over again in many places and at unsuspecting times.
Mostly you would have read about these scams on the Internet or heard about this in the news channels. The latest one was where some cops had their money taken by people somewhere else and it was all due to the fact that they had given out their Credit Card or Debit Card number and the number at the back of the card.
IMPORTANT:
1. Never ever give out your card details on shady websites where you have some doubt or the website does not look legitimate There are many ways to find this out, but the most simple way to look at it is just by looking at the Unified Resource Locator (URL) in the address bar of the browser.
2. While doing online transactions check the URL and then only think about giving the details. Even if it is a legitimate website just double-check to be sure.
3. If want to purchase something online, do it mostly through Internet banking as it would be safe.
4. Use the option of Cash-on-Delivery, as it would avoid giving out your card details even if it means paying a little extra in the way of transportation costs or courier charges.
5. In any condition, do not, and I repeat, do not give out your CVV number to unknown people or fill in shady websites. With CVV number and your Credit Card details money can be withdrawn and products can be purchased online using your Credit Card details.
