Wallet Safety: Never Carry These Items to Avoid Regret Later
- •Avoid carrying debit/credit cards unless essential; scammers can commit fraud even without a PIN.
- •Do not keep personal ID cards like Aadhaar in your wallet, as they can be used for identity theft and cybercrimes.
- •Old receipts contain data (shop name, last 4 digits of card) that cybercriminals can use for 'digital arrests' scams.
- •Unless traveling abroad, keep your passport at home to prevent it from being sold on the dark web if lost.
- •Never keep house keys in your wallet, as it provides thieves with access to your home if your wallet is stolen.
Why It Matters: Protect yourself from fraud and theft by being selective about what you carry in your wallet.
