Bangalore: No doubt the introduction of Debit cards has made our life much easier. But, we have to admit that most of us have taken this convenience for granted by making quick swipe of the debit card to make the purchases.

We are aware of many cases where loss of Debit Card is usually worked out by just replacing it with the new one within a couple of days. We do not pay much attention to the card that is lost, minute after blocking them. If you think that your account is safe after blocking it, then it’s time for you to change your thinking. So, it’s always better not to be negligent while swiping the debit card.

Here are 5 places where your debit card is at high risk, as listed by Bankrate.

1. Stealing PINs at Petrol Bunks

Petrol bunks are another place that has high risk for debit card users. While you swipe your debit card in petrol bunks it is better to be cautious as gas station terminals have many characteristics that fraudsters love. Due to the lack of supervision in the pump station, fraudsters can easily place the skimming machine, a small camera to track your card information including your PIN in a very short time. Since, petrol pumps offer fraudsters with easy access to your debit card details, it is always better to use credit cards or cash the next time you visit a pump to refill.
