So, the pin code. Great and ... unhappy

Hardly anyone is required to explain what a pin code is. In any case, it should be clarified: this is a personal identification number, which every cardholder receives. Without it, you can not get any money at the ATM or you will not be able to pay in the store (except for certain cases when entering this number to confirm your purchasing intentions is not required).

According to banking rules, after acquaintance with this four-digit "password" is required immediately to destroy it. Together with the envelope. Naturally, beforehand memorize it by heart. But since a person's thoughts are usually occupied with something more important, the card simply wraps itself in this envelope, which is subject to annihilation, until it is required to use it. And this is a gross violation of security. One of many, by the way.

The first prohibited action is already mentioned above: never wrap the plastic in an envelope containing the pin code. Perhaps, on the way home fate will play a cruel joke with you, but he will smile at the pickpockets. It is better to immediately bring this short four-digit combination into a diary or cell phone. Of course, without a note, what is this number. Some citizens consider themselves to be daughters of fortune and record it on a paper strip that is located on the back of the card. Yes, yes, the very one on which you want to put your signature. Well ... comments are unnecessary here.

Do not voice the PIN to third parties. This dry clerical expression means your friends, acquaintances, relatives and even a neighbor with whom you smoke on the landing. The fact is that any operation conducted using this "password" is considered to be the one that the cardholder held. Here, by the way, it should also be mentioned that no one in the world has the right to require you to name the pin code: neither the bank, nor the online store, where it was decided to pay for the "plastic" purchase of a new carry for the cat, nor anyone else . Be vigilant: any hint or veiled request to provide this information is a sure sign of the upcoming scam. And only in your power to prevent it.

Guess from three times how to find out the pin number of a bank card belonging to you, can an intruder? Very simple: at the time of its introduction. Either looking from behind, when there is cashing of funds in the ATM, or when the combination is entered in the calculation for the goods purchased in the store. So cover your manipulations with your free hand or purse. Incidentally, this is not at all ridiculous.

If a person has forgotten the PIN-code of a bank card, he will not be able to recognize him. It should be understood that in nature it exists in a single copy. Envelopes with magical figures are printed in the depths of credit and financial institutions without any human presence. Therefore, at best, you can dig into your "scleroscope" or cell phone - you wrote the code back in there, right? At worst, you'll have to go to the bank again to re-issue a new one, and sleep quite calmly.
