1 US Credit Card Fraud Infected China (and Me)

Hi people!


I never been frauded over internet using a VISA debit card online or replaced it by bank decision. The only replacement of the card I did only when it needed to be replaced due to the end of expiration perhiod.


Of course a lot of people are scammed over internet using other methods of receiving funds.


I have account at Victoriabank in Moldaviaa(Eastern Europe). It's very fine and nice bank. ;) I never had problems using my Visa check card. Is good to have 2 cards:

a Credit card account and a debit card account. Over internet is best to use a debit card.

Why? because you use ONLY existing money in account.


For example: You're a credit card holder at Bank of America with excelent credit rating. Is ok. and you open a debit card account at the same or other bank:


The next thing you want securely make payments online:


1. Transfer necesary funds from Credit card account to Debit card!!!


USE ONLY DEBIT CARD ACCOUNT!!!!!


The credit card is good only to be used as BACKUP fund sources ;)


If you use card account online: use:


1. MoneyBookers

2. PayPal

3. CCNOW




Never open emails where is requested credit card information!


If you receive a PayPal email asking about information or payment:


Just type with your fingers on the browser: www.paypal.com


and login. Never use accessing from Emails!



Also, use well known bank or local ones.



Very important thing:


DON'T USE TELEBANKING OR ONLINE BANKING IN THE PUBLIC NET CAFES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Use banking at house, but keep updated:


1. Your operating system

2. Antivirus and Firewall Software.

3. Don't allow someone to use at your own computer your login credentials.


If someone wants to use your own computer, create a username and password for that person with RESTRICTED ACCESS.



Hope this help people!!!!
