Phishing Phishing is a way of attempting to get your Credit Card details over the Internet under false pretences in order to make fraudulent transactions with your card. Ensure you are very careful who you give your Credit Card details to.

Phishing is when someone, posing as a legitimate company, contacts you and tries to extract your Credit Card details. They can then use your Credit Card details anonymously to make purchases and it will be difficult to catch them. Please be careful and take a look at the do’s and don’ts listed below to protect your card from phishing.

Dos

  • Shop online only if you are dealing with a company or brand. One that includes its address and a phone number on the website.
  • Research before you buy! Make sure you know what the item costs and you know the return policy, if any; and the retailer's privacy policy.
  • Take a screenshot of your order page or save the page as an HTML file rather than printing it out.
  • Check your Credit Card statement and view your unbilled transactions frequently to catch fraudulent transactions.
  • Keep transaction numbers available in case you need to cross check later.
  • Keep your anti-virus up to date and make sure you install updates for browsers, applications and operating system software.
  • Safeguard your passwords. Choose strong passwords and a strong MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by Visa code.

Don’ts

  • Don’t give information like your date of birth, name, credit card number or security code on websites that look suspicious or websites you don’t trust.
  • Don’t conduct transactions on public computers that may have malware on them. Use a trusted computer with anti-virus software installed on it.
  • Don't fall for phishing attempts from people trying to get your Credit Card details. Good signs of phishing sites are those with misspellings, poor grammar, URLs that are incorrect, etc.
  • Don’t type your Credit Card details unless you see "https" in the URL address bar and a closed padlock somewhere on the screen.
  • Beware of offers that are too good to be true, which often end up being scams.
