Make sure you take extra precaution when visiting the gas station. Skimmers, illegal card readers that grab data off a credit or debit card, are becoming more and more undetectible. People who have information stolen from their card will not even notice until they receive a statement or an overdraft notice.
When going to the pump, make sure the gas pump panel is closed and shows no signs of tampering. Look at the card reader itself, if it looks different than the others, notify an attendant.
Other precautions you can take are: run your card as credit, monitor accounts daily, or pay inside.
