Protect credit
cards and PINs

THE North Vancouver RCMP offer some tips to sninimize
your risk of the fraudulent use of your credit cards or per-
sonal identification numbers (PINs):

W@ don’t carry extra credit cards, your social insurance card,
birth certificate or passport in vour wallet or purse except when
necessary;

@ when using an ATM or public telephone, shield the screen or
keypad so that “shoulder surfers” cannot read your PIN or
other data as you enter them;

Brake ATM, credit card and other receipts with you, and either
save them in a safe place or destroy them in such a way that they
can’t be read. Also, shred pre-approved credit card offers.
Dumpster divers can get them from the trash;

@ cancel all unused credit card accounts. Even though you
don’t use them, their account numbers are recorded tn your
credit report which is full of data that can be used by identity
thieves.
