Additionally, cardholders should avoid receiving paper statements which can offer thieves the opportunity to steal information from the mail. Separately, cardholders should monitor their accounts, preferably online, since credit card fraud is often detected by cardholders themselves and frequent monitoring can result in earlier detection of possible fraud.

And, finally, the Fed recommends that consumers only use their credit card with online merchants they trust, never providing credit card information via e-mail or entering credit card into a website they do not trust. Credit card users should look for a lock icon or an address that begins "https" to ensure the website is secure.
