We rely so much on our credit and debit cards these days, and there are always fraudsters trying to get hold of our details. Here are some tips.
Expired credit and debit cards. The stripe on the back of your card contains all your important personal data. Demagnetising your card will help make it unusable. Run a magnet along the magnetic stripe (the dark stripe along the top of the back of the card), then cut up or shred your card, making sure to destroy the chip (the silvery square section shows on the front and back of the card).
