To before warned is to before armed/harmed either of the two. The Yahoo boys are not smiling, couple with the recent economy meltdown.

Here are SIMPLE TIPS TO HELP YOU PROTECT YOUR ATM CARD PIN from scammers.

Following these simple tips will help protect your card and account against misuse and fraud.

Your Personal Identification Number (PIN) is the key to your card. It is for your personal use only. When selecting a PIN, always avoid the obvious -

Your Date of Birth
Your Matric No
Your Date of Marriage
Your fincee Date of Birth
Your Car Plate No
Your Home Address
Your Children DOB
Your Service Number
ETC.

One technique that works for PINs is to divide them into two groups of two digits and treat each as a year - so that, say, 8367 becomes 1983 and 1967 - and then find some event that corresponds to each year.

Each event should be something personal, known only to you, or something historical but relatively obscure. From these, devise an amusing and odd phrase linking the two events, from which the events themselves, and thus the dates, cannot be easily deduced.
Write down this phrase rather than the PIN itself.

Another way to create a PIN that is also easy to remember is to translate a word into numbers (like on a telephone keypad). Ex: Rich would be 7424. ATM keypads often have letters printed alongside the numbers.

Protect your PIN; it is your electronic signature. Don't write it down - memorize it. Don't give away your PIN to anyone; not even officials of the Bank.
