Many people have this habit of not keeping their card transaction receipt after doing transaction, they just threw it away without destroying it fully. This should not be done so as you will be putting your account in jeopardy.
If you read the news lately, I’m sure you might come across a case about some syndicate selling fake credit cards. The syndicate collected the transaction receipts and also those unwanted expired credit cards. They made a new card out of it and sell the fake card overseas.
Don’t even think that the last 4 digits are censored will not cause people to find out the full number, they still can. They are very smart in doing so.
Next time, be sure to keep your transaction receipts securely or destroy it completely after buying Branded usb drive or anything. If not it might fall into the wrong hands. You might be the next credit card fraud victim.
