Credit cards that are lost or illegally copied while on vacation should be reported to the local police and frozen immediately.
The Financial Supervisory Service has reminded people to take such precautions, …as cases of illegal credit card usage tend to surge in the third quarter of the year.
The agency suggests vacationers reduce their credit card limits, avoid ATMs in secluded areas and keep receipts of every transaction.
They should also block dynamic currency conversion, which makes travelers pay in won while abroad and charges extra transaction fees.
If your cards have been fraudulently used, you should receive a police report from the local police and submit it to your card company.
