Credit Card Security
Hey guys,
Everybody using credit card must have come across the merchant keeping a copy for his records. The question is whether he gets to know the complete printed card number on it. In that case, he can easily remember the 3 digit security code on the back of the card which he can easily see while swiping the card. The Bank should not print the security code on the back of the card or the merchant copy should not display full number of the card? Even though there is pin code to access the card nowadays, but still there is a enough possibility of getting your card misused by others. Any experience in this matter!
Yes, it's a great risk !!
I have notice a few cases where even top organization by mistake faxed the Credit Card details to wrong fax no and then apologized.
You can still have chances to catch the cuplrit if some mischief has been done at any shop or malls or organizations but avoid online usage of the Credit Card. You can ask for a Virtual Credit Card from your bank with any small Credit Limit which can be used for online shopping.
