Prevention
• Eliminate opportunity.• Only carry specific credit cards that
are used on a daily basis.• Leave most credit cards at home in
a secure place.• Pay attention to who and how
people handle credit cards.• Look for suspicious behavior. • Credit card is returned in a
reasonable amount of time.• Make sure websites are secure
when shopping online.• Avoid giving out credit card
information if possible.

• Since they are very hard to detect, consumers need to check bank statements on a regular basis!
• This is VERY important because you can track fraudulent purchases if you check your bank account on a regular basis.
• Always be aware!
Prevention-RFID
• Wrap credit cards in foil if they contain RFID.– This protects the radio
chip inside the credit card.
• Consumers can purchase metal wallets.
• Credit card-shaped protection device known as GuardBunny.
