Plastic cards and signs of fake

[Детективное агентство. Украина. Харьков. Львов.]

Plastic cards Using a plastic card, you can suddenly detect the disappearance of all funds placed on it, moreover - you may be a debtor to your bank. And, if your card is credit rather than debit, the debt can be significant. Even greater troubles are possible with a revolving card, automatically replenished by the bank when the cash balance drops below a certain amount. Few people know for sure the exact amount on the card, and therefore timely detection of unauthorized use of your account is problematic. However, using the card is very convenient. Last year’s (2000) vacation, for the first time I did not solve the problem of the safety of the money I took with me, and I did not think about how much to take for a particular event - there was always an ATM nearby. Even in a Polish roadside eatery, I bought cigarettes without finding out the location of the nearest exchange office and without littering my pockets with an unnecessary trifle of a transit country. Robbery is problematic - for most cards there is a limit on the amount withdrawn during the day, so there is no danger of losing everything at once. For peace of mind, the cardholder must follow simple precautions. 1. Never tell anyone a pin-code, and do not give the opportunity to spy on his set on the terminal. Burn the envelope with the code after reading it, do not write the code in the notebook or on the computer - these numbers should only be in your memory. 2. Never lose sight of a map. If your card is carried away for rolling - do not be too lazy to go next. 3. Personally observe the rolling procedure, if the slip is damaged, demand its destruction in your presence. 4. Do not pay on the Internet through the main card. Many banks introduce Internet cards into use - such a card is different from the main one, and money is downloaded to it only when you confirm your purchase on the Internet. 5. If a card loss is detected, immediately inform the issuing bank to block the account. ps The International Payment Association does not recommend the use of cards in ATMs in Spain, Ukraine, Estonia, Singapore and Malaysia due to possible fraudsters reading magnetic stripes of cards by reprogramming automated banking machines. Signs of forgery of plastic cards 1. The hologram has no signs of volume, the image differs from the standard, the hologram is pasted over the laminate (the edges are touched with a fingernail). 2. The surface of the card is not glossy, the sides of the plastic are not white, peeling of the laminating film, mechanical damage. 3. A fuzzy image of drawings, logos, text, violation of the symmetry of design elements. 4. In the ultraviolet light, there is no image of a dove in the center of the VISA card (except for VISA Electron), there is no image of the letters M and C of EuroCard / MasterCard cards (except for Cirrus / Maestro), or these symbols are blurred and the whole card is lit. 5. There are no four digits printed in a printing way under the first four digits of the card number, either do not coincide with them, or are erased with a fingernail. 6. On the signature strip there are no printed left-leaning (except Electron and Cirrus / Maestro), card number and three digits of the security code. 7. Smooth text of the card number, expiration date and name of the holder (must be extruded, or slightly roughened, or dented). 8. Micro-code and BIN of the card issuer are poorly distinguishable and easily erased along the contour of the VISA logo; or Electron microprints along the outline of the Electron logo. 9. The card warps after heat exposure. 10. The signature panel is missing or deleted the background in the form of a three-color inscription Mastercard or blue VISA or gray Union Card. 11. Under embossed symbols, a trace of smoothed embossed (squeezed out) symbols is visible. 12. The card number displayed by the display differs from the embossed one. 13. The signature panel is sealed with paper. 14. The placement of embossed, printed, soldered signs is different from the standard.
