Banking Security Resource Center

Tuesday August 16, 2005
I recently had to close one of my credit card accounts because the account number was compromised -- somebody tried to use it for a large online purchase. Based on the data my card company has, they think that it was just a randomly generated number that happened to match my card number. In any case, we're playing it safe and closing out that number. To make sure that your financial information is safe, I recommend perusing our banking security resources. You'll find easy tips to help keep the scammers out of your pocket.
