Step 1
Do not become a victim of phishing. Phishing is done when you are emailed with requests for your personal or credit card information to a fake website. The website usually look legal. Notify your lender of any suspicious email requests.

Step 2
Maintain a file of all receipt purchases to help you with any credit card usage disputes. Do not leave your ATM receipts at the location of your withdrawal. All records should be accounted for on your monthly statement. If there is a discrepancy on your credit card statement, do not hesitate to contact you bank or lending institution immediately.

Step 3
Use the bank' s money by using your bank credit card instead of your debit card. A debit card is like a checking account and is your money. Do not put your money out there to be stolen. this is good advice for online purchases.
