5. Many Restaurants Record Customer Data

Another place where you must avoid swiping your debit card is the restaurant. Remember, any place where the card is out of hand can increase the chances of fraud.

Usually in the sit-down service, the waiter comes to your table, takes your card and disappears for a while. This gives him the privacy to find out as much information as possible.

This happens even in fast food restaurants where your debit card is used to make the orders. Here the cashier tends to record all your payment information so that the next time you make a purchase it becomes easier for him to identify. In such cases your card is not completely secured.

However, whether you are using your card in a big shot restaurant or a small eatery shop, the possibility of risk is always there.
