Do you use that card at restaurants? When you hand that card to a server, you are taking a risk of someone copying your card number and that oh so important 3 digit security number. Now they can internet shop to their hearts delight.

First thing to do is, with the corner of a razor, scratch out that 3 digit security number after you have written it down somewhere separate from the card.

Second; make sure the card the server hands you back is YOUR CARD. Look at it before you put it in your wallet.
