Holiday season hoopla means the scammers are out in full force!

As the shopping season goes into full effect for the holidays, be
careful with your debit cards! As a tip, run it as a credit card when
possible. If you do use it as a debit card, cover your hand as you type
in the PIN number at ATM machines and stores. Scammers have come up
with more intensive ways of "skimming" information or installing super tiny cameras to catch all the data.

I am particularly careful when I use my card and I STILL had my card compromised! (I had the card still but they obtained the number) I am guessing it happened at a gas station as I am *gasp* known to run my card at the pump. Now I withdraw cash each payday and use that to pay for my gas and other random items. I feel safer already! Lol! :-)
