Four out of ten bank cards in Mexico fall victim to fraud.
Credit card fraud occurs when someone uses your credit card without your authorization, either through the physical or electronic theft of your data.
This type of crime is the most common form of identity theft and impacts not only cardholders but also businesses. After a credit card fraud incident, cancellations and a decline in consumer trust often follow.
To decrease the likelihood of becoming a fraud victim, it is important to consider the following points.
Protection Software: Browsing the web and downloading files pose significant risks without proper protection. It is crucial to safeguard your computer with antivirus software. Additionally, confirming through a padlock icon in the address bar that the accessed site encrypts information confidentially is crucial.
Account Access: To enhance card protection, opting for advanced technologies requiring fingerprint or face ID to access your accounts is ideal.
Instant Information: Staying informed and reporting are fundamental to keeping abreast of new fraud methods and informing your bank promptly about any unrecognized transactions.
Personal Data: It is crucial not to share personal data, click on links, or open attachments. Protecting your passwords is equally important.
Other security measures to consider include inspecting ATMs for anomalies, safeguarding your information at ATMs when entering your PIN, and staying vigilant during payments at establishments.
