It's the skimmer at POS that gets your card. Much of that is reduced with using the chipped cards or using the tap function when paying. Never use your debit card at restaurants. It goes out of your sight. They can get the numbers on the front. The three numbers on the back. Then all they need to do ask you as you are filling in the tip is where do you live. That is all they need. Card number,. The number code on the back and zip code the card is issued.

I have had my bank card compromised three times. One in TX. Another in PA. Them some clown purchased some kind of game console and other goodies online. The sale was pending. Never got paid because I got an email notification and called the bank immediately. The bank always reimburses within 24 hours.

Use credit cards. If someone runs them it's up to the issuer of the card to go get their money back. After all,it's not your money. It's the banks. You only asked to borrow some and pay back with interest.
