Prevent card fraud

As we become an increasingly cashless society, we have some hints and tips on using your credit and debit cards safely.

Credit card fraud, online fraud and identity theft have all increased over the last few years.

We all need to make sure we're doing all we can to keep our personal details safe, and in an increasingly busy and complicated world, that can be difficult.

Below is a list of websites which offer help and advice on how to shop safely and how to help prevent identity theft. They also warn of the dangers of scams.

Also, if the worst happens and you do become the victim of credit card fraud or your identity is stolen, these sites can help.

Your bank or building society will also offer help and advice on using your cards safely.

We'd like to hear from you if you're been the victim of credit card fraud or identity theft.
