tl;dr - we’ve had fraudulent visa debit card charges twice in 6 months, what are we doing wrong?
We are expats living in Portugal and have experienced two rounds of fraudulent charges on our visa debit card in less than six months. Each time we cancel the card and get new ones.
What are we doing wrong?
What can we do to protect ourselves? Maybe pay for everything with credit card or cash? Only use our IBAN of online payments (where available)? Is there something about transactions in Europe we don’t know? How to spot card skimmers?
We never experience this frequency of fraud in our home country.
Thanks!
