Protect Yourself from Credit Card Fraud
(BPT) - You may have already received your new credit or debit card equipped with a microchip. If you haven’t received your new chip card, you most likely will by the time your card expires. The EMV chip technology is intended to help reduce debit and credit card fraud, and thanks to a collaboration between America’s payment networks and card-issuers, you’ll see many more merchants using EMV-equipped card readers over the coming months. Chip-enabled cards store the same basic information that’s already in the magnetic strip on the back of your card, such as the card number and expiration date. They add a layer of fraud protection by producing a single-use code to validate every transaction. While EMV technology is intended to reduce card fraud, it’s still important to be aware of how fraud happens, what you can do to prevent it and what your card-issuer does to help protect you.
“Fraud prevention is a partnership between cardholders and the bank,” said Pam Codispoti, president of Chase Consumer Branded Cards. “By working together, we can help customers keep their accounts safer and more secure.”
Chase offers some tips to help you stay alert to fraud while you holiday shop and in the New Year:
* Keep your contact information, including phone number and email address, up to date so the card issuer can contact you quickly if they detect signs of fraud on your account.
* Review your card agreement to be sure you understand what anti-fraud measures the issuer takes. For example, Chase uses specialized monitoring tools to keep an eye on your account 24/7.
* If your card company or bank offers it, sign up for account alerts to monitor your finances and keep your accounts safe. Most issuers will allow you to choose to be alerted to any unusual account activity via text, email or phone call.
* Review your statements every month to ensure all charges are accurate and authorized by you. If you spot a charge you don’t recognize, contact the card issuer or bank immediately. With the shift to greater use of EMV technology, if fraud occurs on your account and you have a chip-enabled card, the merchant will be responsible for the costs in most situations. Also, banks like Chase offer zero liability protection — you won’t be held responsible for unauthorized charges made with your card or account information.
* Monitor your credit reports. Although you’re entitled to a free report from all three major credit bureaus once a year, checking your report more often can help catch signs of fraud earlier.
* Opt for secure paperless billing. Theft of paper documents, such as from your mailbox or trash, is still a top way fraudsters obtain information. By going paperless, you eliminate an opportunity for someone to steal your statement and get your account information.
* Switch to secure online or mobile payments to help protect your account information. Online payments add layers of security to your transaction and can help ensure you never miss a payment.
* When using your card in a store, never allow the card out of your sight. If you have to enter a PIN number to use the card, be aware of who’s standing around you and shield the keypad from view when you type in your PIN.

10 Year Old Drives Car in China
(UPI) -- Police in China are investigating a video showing what appears to be a 10-year-old boy driving while an adult passenger plays on a cellphone. The video, filmed by a passenger in another vehicle, shows what police believe to be a 10-year-old boy driving a car in Chengdu while an adult male passenger looks down at his cellphone.
Police said the adult did not appear to be paying any attention to the boy's driving, focusing instead on the screen of his phone.
The passenger in the car, which was going about 20 mph when the video was filmed, could face charges if identified, police said.

Tips to Protect Your Pet this Winter
PHOTO SOURCE:ThinkStock.com
(StatePoint) The cold weather can be just as hard on pets as it is on people. This winter, consider these tips to keep your four-legged family members safe and warm.
Warm up on Walks: If you decide to brave the cold for daily walks, there are a few risks to keep in mind. Wind chill can be dangerous, no matter what the temperature is, according to The Humane Society. Pets can be at risk for frostbite and hypothermia during extreme cold snaps, and exposed skin on noses, ears and paw pads can quickly freeze and suffer permanent damage.
On walks, keep your pet warm with a sweater or coat. Small booties or paw gel will help keep sensitive paws from freezing. And if you’d rather not risk a slippery walk outside, try exercising your furry friend at an indoor dog park or doggy daycare.
Stay Safe: The salt used to de-slick an icy road can be dangerous and toxic to pets, often irritating the pads of their feet. In addition, coolants and antifreeze may drip from cars, making an easy transfer to sensitive paws. When returning from a walk, be sure to wipe down paws with a damp cloth before he or she has a chance to lick them.
Take Shelter: It’s always best to provide warm, dry shelter indoors for your pets in the winter months; however, if your pets must stay outdoors, there are a few ways to make their shelter safe and comfortable.
The Humane Society recommends raising the shelter a few inches off the ground and covering the floor with cedar shavings or straw. The doorway should be positioned away from the wind, and the shelter covered with waterproof burlap or heavy plastic. The American Veterinary Medical Association urges owners to provide unlimited access to fresh water. Change the water frequently to avoid freezing, or use a heated water bowl.
Keep Pets Secure: Consider your pet’s car safety before pulling out of the driveway. Pet carriers, car seats and back seat barriers can provide additional safety as you drive, especially in the event of an accident or sudden stop.
Also, you may want to explore pet injury coverage. For example, Erie Insurance automatically covers up to two dogs and/or cats that are injured in your vehicle during an accident. For more information, visit www.ErieInsurance.com.
“Your pet’s overall health and safety depends on your preparedness,” says Cody Cook, Erie Insurance vice president and product manager. “Check with your insurance company to make sure your pets are covered in the event of an accident. That way, instead of worrying about medical costs, you can have the peace of mind knowing they’re protected.”
This winter, take care to protect your furry friends from winter woes by following these simple tips to keep them safe and happy.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com
I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
