Never use a debit card linked to a bank account.
NEVER, unless you absolutely have no alternative.
Use a credit card only if possible because of the protections from the card company and law that protects you.
That man who was the story behind “Catch Me if You Can” told me that.
We probably watched the same speech by the same ex-conman. He said credit cards were the most secure form of payment.
But I also read that debit cards offer the same protection (if used as credit cards, maybe?). Wonder if this woman called her bank to dispute the $1500 withdrawal/charge?
