Card Clonning
How you can protect yourself Your bank has sophisticated security systems in place, but there are still important steps you can take to further protect yourself: Always protect your PIN: use your shoulder or your hand to shield your PIN when entering it into the keypad. Always insert your card first instead of swiping when making a purchase. This will protect you from having your card skimmed and, if the store terminal isn’t chip capable, it will prompt you to swipe. And always remember to take your card when the transaction is done. Never lend your card or disclose your PIN to anyone else. Memorize your PIN; don’t write it down. Make sure your PIN cannot be easily detected if your card is lost or stolen — don't use your birth date or address or part of your telephone number. Regularly review your transaction history online or on your monthly bank statements and report anything unusual to your financial institution immediately. Change your PIN periodically.
