There had been increasing stories of peoples credit card or debit card being cloned and is then used to withdraw cash. A friend’s debit card here in the UK had just been cloned and was used to withdraw money from a cash machine (ATM) in Tunisia. It is important to ensure that you guard your card as well as your personal details a lot more carefully to reduce the risk of this incident from happening.
Some things to take note of to reduce the risk of credit card or debit card fraud.
