Don’t print full card numbers on receipts
DAVID CANTON – For the London Free Press – May 21, 2005
If they fall into the wrong hands, your debit or credit card numbers can be used to run up charges at your expense.
Businesses should not print debit or credit card numbers on receipts or other documents. Printing them increases the chances of misuse of credit and debit card numbers and is a violation of privacy obligations.
Some people go to the trouble of searching through garbage to steal copies of credit card receipts or other documents. If these records fall into the wrong hands, criminals can control accounts and assume your identity.
