However, if we are not careful, your credit card could be your master's weapon. The slightest careless act can be self-defeating, due to misuse of credit cards by others.
Often we encounter in waste places of financial interaction, such as in addition to the store cashier, in ATM trash can, there are many visible papers of the remaining proof of purchase or transaction confirmation slip from the bank / machine edc.
For us ordinary people, such information may be useless. After enough dilhat then discarded. But for others with certain skills, can get complete credit card information only with information from "waste paper" that has been discarded.
Try to pay attention to used paper shopping by using credit card paying tool. There is a bank name, and even the type of credit card (for example: visa, mastercard or other).
There is also the name of the credit card owner and the reference pointing to the credit card number. The card type is there, whether it's a debit card or credit card clearly written.
When transacting with a credit card, in addition to a proof of paper, the cashier will also provide a proof of a successful transaction, and on the evidence there is also credit card information.
On bank bills sent by the bank, bill or other information is also clearly displayed information relating to your card.
Usually some card owners pay bills via ATM. On the payment transaction receipt, there is also your credit card information there.
The information contained in the paper trash (proof of transaction) of the card may be exploited by persons with malicious intent.
Proof of credit card transactions that are thrown away will make it easier for a person who intends to malicious, and facilitate in carrying out its mission.
That simple, simple information is like a keyword in a trained puzzle game. And your target who likes to be careful in banking transactions.
Therefore, we urge not to throw proof or paper about credit card in vain. Mop up the paper with a paper shredder or small scissors or even be burned to remove any trace of your credit card information.
