Add autograph credit card number

there are many real ways to combat ID theft but this is not one of them this dubious anti-theft practice involves leaving your signature off of the back of your cart and instead writing the words CID telling the cashier to check the card name again some form of identification like your driver's license it's a security myth that has many consumers fooled that is a good idea yeah I think that's actually a better idea than the signature yeah sometimes I do sometimes I have one with one without signing your card with CIB as a way to prevent theft might actually be a case of the cure being worse than the disease while signing CID might seem logical MasterCard says it's really a way to derail your consumer rights by making sure they're never activated in the first place from a MasterCard perspective the card is actually not valid unless it is signed by the authorized cardholder and really from a consumer perspective that's your first line of defense having your signature on the back of that card visas policies are nearly identical so if CID doesn't make sense what does as a fraud investigator for New York State law enforcement agencies Phil Rosenthal worked on more than a thousand high-tech crime cases he says there is one simple and effective way to reduce your chances of credit card fraud don't give over the credit card at all but if you're going to keep your eye on who you handed it to watch what they do with it ok if they put it through the machine and hand it back to you no problem but if they put it through the machine and then they accidentally drop it on the floor and you look over the counter and watch them when they bend down to pick it up because they might have this little skimmer and as they bend down to pick it up they give it that and then hand it back to you and it looks innocent but they've just stolen your credit card information even in restaurants portable card readers have become more popular as to have your bill processed tableside or take it to the register yourself and finally do sign your card I may say errands for credit cards calm
