This could happen to you. Beware!

Mr. Sachin went to restaurant with his friends for dinner, Post dinner, when the bill was presented; Sachin preferred to pay the bill using his credit card and handed over the card to the waiter, Raju. When Mr. Sachin was not watching him, Raju swiped the card on an electronic device before swiping on to the POS machine. A month later, Sachin was surprised to see his statement which indicated several transactions being done on the card across the globe amounting to excess of Rs. 50,000 which he was not aware off. Actually these transactions were done by Raju, the waiter who had cleverly swiped the card on a skimming machine to create multiple clones of the same card.
