Ensure your PIN remains confidential. Never tell a shop assistant your PIN and ask them to enter the number; you must do it yourself. If you think you may be overlooked when entering your PIN, use your other hand to shield the keypad. Keep a note of the UK telephone numbers for lost or stolen credit cards.
