Sometimes, people may collect copies of your discarded charge slips from the wastebasket. Dishonest people could use the information from the copies to order merchandise by mail and ship it to a phony address. In addition, they could also sell the copies to counterfeiters who would take the account numbers and use them to alter cards or make new ones.
After signing a credit card slip, ask for your receipt or duplicates. After you have compared them to the charges listed on your monthly credit card statement, tear them up and throw them away.
