[QUOTE="CobraBob, post: 13604232, member: 6727"] This is why I never use a debit card tied to a checking or savings account. I only use "gift" debit cards. I also shred all personal mail (mine and my wife's). These steps alone will help a lot. However, there are relatively easy ways for credit card info to be stolen. One way (ask me how I know) is when a waitress/waiter takes your credit card out of sight to ring up a restaurant bill. He/she can easily skim your card or just write down the card info. Some day we'll find a way of encrypting the info on the credit/debit card (on an embedded chip) with no card info on the card itself. Encrypting would hopefully make card skimmers useless to a thief. And stealing a card wouldn't benefit the thief, either, if the info is encrypted and just about impossible to crack. By the time that technology like this is in wide use, our phones/computers will have built in scanners when you're making an online purchase. [/QUOTE]
