PROTECT YOURSELF

1. Unless absolutely required for a legitimate business purpose, avoid giving out your:

Address and Zip code

Phone Number

Date of Birth

Social Security Number

Card or Account Number

Card Expiration Date

Your PIN is private; NEVER give it out.

2. In stores and at ATMs, always cover your card and PIN, and watch for:

Cell phone cameras, mirrors or other tools used to view cards and PINs

People watching your transactions

Cashiers takiing your card out of sight; take it to the register yourself

Any unusual activity at ATMs; if you feel uncomfortable, go to another ATM

3. Online, you should never respond to unsolicited emails that:

Ask you to verify your card or account number; such emails are not sent by legitimate businesses

Link to websites; such sites can look legitimate but may collect your data or put spyware on your computer.
