I never use my credit cards. I went and got one of those prepaid debit cards to use. I only put the amount on it that I am wanting to use. That way if anybody gets ahold of it, theres nothing there for them. I also do not enter any kind of info into the computer. I have never entered my social security number, or my street address. (I use my post office box) I never enter banking info, and I never enter my ID number from my license. I feel that taking all those precautions, I should be ok, I hope.
