Mobile No

Email Address

Bank Address

Bank Account nos

Passport No

Driving Licence No

Car Reg

National Insurance No

plus all her PIN numbers
:shock: I'm sure you've told her not too, but pass on the tale of my father in law who had his manbag pinched in Italy and several hundred pounds pinched from his a/c which he never got back as had written the pin down.

 

For those that find it hard to remember numbers, it is easier to remember a word - most keypads have letters on them.

One of the patients where I worked didn't sign her bank card so people couldn't copy her signature :shock: I pointed out that if it got into the wrong hands they could do their own signature on it and the people in the shops wouldn't be any the wiser so the transactions would go through, whereas a copy of her signature could be noticed :lol: , she said "Good God! I hadn't thought of that"

Oh, I've told her plenty of times, so has my father :roll:
