conversation: User (phatlicks): "I have 1 debit card directly linked to my personal account, and I use it every day for all kinds of shopping. I realized today how stupid and possibly dangerous that can be... My bank called me today and told me there had been charges made last night. One of the charges went through, the others got stopped by the bank. The card contains full name and "identity number" ...\n\nI cancelled the card immediately after the bank called me, and now I have no card until they send me a new one. No money either unless i physically go to the bank.\n\nI need to use a card again and I rarely use cash due to past experiences with muggings... I dont know how this happened, I thought I was careful, but this can never happen again. What is the most secure way to use a card / electronic money? \n\n\n"
  Self: "Do you have a credit card? You may consider getting one if you don't. Skimming happens all the time, there really isn't any way to prevent that."
