I have always thought I was pretty careful with my cards and details - but today I found out that I have been a victim of unscrupulous people who have somehow got a hold of my credit card details.
It has also been confirmed by the fraud team at my card issuer that the fraudsters know my address and the last 3 numbers on the signature strip so they either have access to the computer details at one of the few places I use my credit card (almost exclusively online really but even then only a very few places - except for putting fuel in the car) or they have physically seen/held my card.
Please, be careful with your details and be extra vigilant with what you throw away - make sure you shred all paperwork showing your address, card and bank details or any other information that can be used to commit fraud.
