• Don’t let anyone else use your cards, not even your family or friends.
• Memorize your PIN (Personal Identification Number). Pick something you can associate the number with to help you remember it so you don’t have to write it down, but avoid pick- ing a number that would be easy for someone to guess, e.g., your name, telephone number, or birthday.
• Don’t tell anyone else your PIN. There is no one else who needs to know it, not even your bank, the police, or a merchant.
• Make sure the cashier or sales associate returns your card to you after every purchase.
• Always check the sales receipt to make sure that it is for the cor- rect amount before you sign it.
• Keep copies of your receipts, including ATM (Automated Teller Machine) receipts, then check your billing statement to make sure the amounts match. If there are any charges that you did not make, notify your bank or credit-card company immediately.
