Guard the keypad when entering your PIN number at an ATM machine. Never use your debit card to place orders for delivery over the phone. Consider prepaid credit cards or online payment options like PayPal to purchase items over the internet. The fact that you’re carrying a card that provides direct access to your bank account and personal information–with few protections–makes debit card fraud more dangerous than fraud you might face with credit cards.
