Credit card identity theft can be a problem this Christmas

High tech credit card identity theft at the cash register? You better believe it. The crooks use the cell phones with built-in cameras. When paying by credit card, make sure you block the number with your fingers when you swipe it. Don't leave it on the counter while signing the receipt. Otherwise someone can take picture of your card and get the name, number and expiration date. That is all needed in most cases. Stay alert, this is your best move.
