Protecting my credit
Protecting my credit and yours. With this manual, there is a high probability that you will be getting some new credit cards in the future. I’d like to point out some ways you can protect yourself.
The first thing you should do is Sign your card — as soon as you receive it! (Obviously, this is only as effective as the clerk who’s checking it.)
Secondly, When you use your card at an ATM, enter your PIN in such a way that no one can easily memorize your keystrokes.
And, Don’t leave your receipt behind at the ATM. Your PIN and account number from a discarded receipt could make you vulnerable to credit-card fraud. Also, don’t throw out your credit-card statement and receipts.
Also, Never give your credit-card number over the telephone unless you initiated the call
Make certain you get your card back after you make a purchase
Check your monthly statement to make certain all charges are your own, and immediately notify the card issuer of any errors or unauthorized charges
When you apply for the credit card, take the time to read the fine print and see what they are really telling you. Never feel pressure to sign up. Take all the time you need
