A few years ago, my husband's debit card number was stolen. The funny thing is, he still had the card in his wallet! We think the number was stolen when he used it at a restaurant and they skimmed the number off it. We were lucky because the bank caught the fraud just in time. Someone tried to use it at a gas station and the bank noticed it was a fraud transaction. Thankfully, no money was stolen out of our checking account. But this happening taught us a valuable lesson- that we need some kind of protection on our financial and personal data.
