Privacy vs Protection in Credit Cards

There is no big secret that that criminals never waste a chance to steal our credit card information. With this info they can run up the charges and leave you to pay for them.

To prevent the problem you need the knowledge of how this is typically done. Ok, let's go behind the curtain. The common to get credit card information is through phishing. This is done via a fake email that looks like as if it was sent from your credit card company. It says 'blah-blah, some error was on your account, and go here to solve it' in any possible disguise to get your full card info. 

The obvious hint to spot this kind of emails is the fact that people they don’t even have a credit card from the company that has sent the email. But it can go deeper that is why also if the link gives the fake email away - hover your mouse over the link, then “right click” the link with the mouse and select “view source”.  If the link is indeed fake, the website address that comes up will be something other than that of a credit card company.

The criminals make up a website that is an exact copy of a credit card website - only the domain is a little different (one letter, usually). And of course they say - enter your credit card information - NEVER do that!

When receiving an email such as this - delete it.

Any doubts? Go to official web site of your credit card company, find the official support phone number and call them. They will assist.
