• Never give your account number over the phone unless you initiate the call.
• Know the approximate delivery date of your card statements and check it for transactions that you did not complete.
• Keep records of all card account numbers, expiration dates, lines of credit and phone numbers in a secure location.
• Never dispose of card receipts or statements without shredding, tearing up, or blacking out account numbers.
• Close all unused card accounts and cut unwanted cards into several pieces before disposing of them.
