Discovering unknown charges on your credit card statement could be a sign that you have been a victim of skimming. Even if your card is securely with you, criminals have sophisticated methods to steal your information. EBRAX offers advanced solutions such as the Anti-Skimming system, crucial in the fight against this type of fraud.
Understanding Card Skimming
Skimming occurs at points of sale like ATMs, fuel pumps, and cash registers. It is a common form of credit card fraud, where data is copied during legitimate transactions. To avoid being a victim of skimming, it is essential to be vigilant and prefer transactions in secure locations.
The Threat of Card Scanning
With the introduction of RFID chips in cards, scanning has become a concern. These chips can be read from a distance, allowing the theft of information without your knowledge. Although it is more challenging to occur, it is a potential threat.
Tips for Preventing Skimming and Scanning
- Avoid POS in isolated or poorly monitored locations.
- Opt for transactions with cashiers or human attendants.
- Investigate any sign of tampering on card readers.
- Protect yourself against scanning with RFID-blocking wallets.
- Consider using cash instead of cards in public areas.
