§ 35.45 PREVENTING FRAUD.
   The cardholder should use basic security measures, as outlined below, to guard against fraud:
   (A)   Keep the card in a secure location; guard the card number carefully;
   (B)   Save receipts and statements in a secure area (these may contain the card number);
   (C)   Keep the card in view during the transaction and retrieve it as soon as possible;
   (D)   Know where the card is at all times. If the individual cannot locate the card, notify the Finance Director or designee to cancel that card immediately;
   (E)   Be aware of what you are signing. Your signature can copy through to other papers that could be deliberately placed underneath for signature fraud;
   (F)   Audit your monthly statement closely. Make sure all charges shown are legitimate charges;
   (G)   Visit reputable and familiar merchants whenever possible;
   (H)   Report possible fraud immediately;
   (I)   Do not discard credit card transaction receipts in public areas or discard the receipt in whole form. Thieves can acquire the card number from transaction receipts and statements;
   (J)   Do not lend the card to anyone; and
   (K)   Do not give the card number to anyone over the phone unless you know they are a reputable vendor.
