Do you lock your car doors, the doors and windows in your home? Why? Are you paranoid????

The day you have your Visa card number stolen, you will change your mind.

In fact, just cancel your Visa account tomorrow, and you know what, people can still charge to it even when you canceled it. 100% true. (At least in Canada it's true)

Just because you cancel a Visa Card doesn't mean people can't charge to it after the fact, they can.....and you will get a bill at the end of the month, then you will have to call the Visa center to tell them to that the charge was not yours, and they will cancel the charge. Nice little hassle and it can go on for along time.

Happened to me.

Taking simple security steps is not paranoia, it's wise.
