Avoid Unauthorized Charges On Debit/Credit Card

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Do You Use Credit/Debit Cards?

Read this note very carefully. I did not know about the Clear button, but I will be pushing the Clear button before I swipe my gas or debit card. And after just to be safe.

People are getting really desperate due to the constantly rising gas prices.

A friend just told me about something that happened to one of his coworkers. She used her credit/debit card to purchase gas at the pump (like most of us do). She received her receipt like
normal. However, when she checked her statement, there were two $50 charges added in addition to her purchase. Upon investigation, She found out that because she did not press the ‘Clear’ button on the pump, the employee inside the store was able to use her card to purchase His/her own gas!.

To keep this from happening, after you get your receipt, you must press the ‘CLEAR’ button or your information will be stored until the next customer inserts their card.. Be sure to tell all
your friends/family so that this doesn’t happen to them!

I had never noticed the clear button but I got gas the other day and sure enough it is there.

I will be using it from now on.
