Are credit card transactions safe and secure?

They may not be as secure as you think they are. When was the last time the cashier asked you for your ID? I always write on the back of the card (instead of my signature) “Ask for ID” in bold, black letters. I’m really not sure how much it really helps, but at least they ask for my id.

The problem is that they almost never check to make sure the signature matches the one on the card. You can check the famous credit card prank which by the way, is hilarious. And he makes a point, most people do not check the signature.

See you tomorrow, and remember to stay out of debt.
