Orlando, FL – April 27, 2016 - Eating out is a favorite thing of many people. However, even dining out has become threatening considering that the number of identity theft cases is increasing. According to Joseph Kirkpatrick, an information security specialist, consumers can protect themselves while dining out. Credit card information can easily be stolen nowadays. It can happen in just a matter of seconds or minutes and to anyone. Today, there are many tools available that are designed to steal information from credit cards and other important documents. This has encouraged many crooks to steal from others. There are also restaurant workers who steal from diners. Statistics reveal that forty five restaurants in five states of U.S. are involved in identity theft cases. Experts also say that the crime actually happens in restaurants more than people think. Jodi Fleming, a restaurant manager, states that they follow a system where workers only hold the credit card long enough to swipe it in the computer system. They then make sure that the card is returned immediately to the diner. However, he also said that not all restaurants do what they do, so consumers should be very cautious. Kirkpatrick recommends that consumers should keep their credit card information secure while eating out by being suspicious in certain circumstances. Consumers should watch out of suspicious actions such as if the server takes the card out of the public view or if the electronic device is out of their pocket. They should keep track of the time when the card is away from them. Experts also recommend that consumers should try to see if the server looks nervous or is asking to re-swipe the card. It is similarly important to ensure that the credit card number does not appear on any of the receipts. Identity theft is one of the most widespread crimes that continue to grow worldwide.
