Be careful with your receipts!

Do you know that the receipts that are generated at cashiers when you pay with credit card has ALOT of personal information about you? Your Card?

In one of our shopping trips, the cashiers mistakenly gave us another person's receipt and we din realised it until we got home and when we looked at it, we got a shock!

It has his full name.
Full credit card number.
Expiry date.

information sufficient for anyone to make online transactions with..... all these, you dun even need to steal the card to "buy" things FREEly.

So be sure to watch where your receipts go when you shop....

cannot la. almost all online credit card transactions need to have the CVV, which is the 3 numbers on the back of the card. without that the transaction cannot go thru.
