“There is no way to protect yourself from something like this unless you stop using credit cards,”

Within the article below the detective states, “There is no way to protect yourself from something like this unless you stop using credit cards,” said Det. Melero.

Our program is the way to prevent this from happening where it happens. In the restaurant setting we hand out cards to complete strangers who walk away and if they are gone for too long, we just assume they are a bad server. They could be pulling their cell phone out and taking pictures of the front and back of your card, they could be using the receipt paper to imprint the card number, and they could be using a skimmer on your card. The article below is particularly interesting to us because these people were discussing how someone tried to illegibly use their card for a purchase states away from them. It just goes to prove that socializing and networking can bring attention to this sort of crime and bring it to the mainstream where it belongs. Question for you who are reading this, what can you do to spread the word, how can you help to prevent this from ever happening? CREATE A BUZZ, make people listen to how we don’t want to have our cards leave our sight, we don’t want to have this sort of thing happen to us.
