What Credit Card Numbers Mean


 The front of your credit card has a lot of numbers – here's an example of what they might mean.

Although phone companies, gas companies and department stores have their own numbering systems, ANSI Standard X4.13-1983 is the system used by most national credit-card systems.
Here are what some of the numbers stand for:
·           The first digit in your credit-card number signifies the system:
·            3 - travel/entertainment cards (such as American Express and Diners Club)
·            4 - Visa
·            5 - MasterCard
·            6 - Discover Card
·           The structure of the card number varies by system. For example, American Express card numbers start with 37; Carte Blanche and Diners Club with 38.
·            American Express - Digits three and four are type and currency, digits five through 11 are the account number, digits 12 through 14 are the card number within the account and digit 15 is a check digit.
·            Visa - Digits two through six are the bank number, digits seven through 12 or seven through 15 are the account number and digit 13 or 16 is a check digit.
MasterCard - Digits two and three, two through four, two through five or two through six are the bank number (depending on whether digit two is a 1, 2, 3 or other). The digits after the bank number up through digit 15 are the account number, and digit 16 is a check digit.



Some important tips:
·           Sign your card -- as soon as you receive it! (Obviously, this is only as effective as the clerk who's checking it.)
·           When you use your card at an ATM, enter your PIN in such a way that no one can easily memorize your keystrokes.
·           Don't leave your receipt behind at the ATM.
Your PIN and account number from a discarded receipt could make you vulnerable to credit-card fraud. Also, don't throw out your credit-card statement, receipts or carbons without first shredding them!
·           Never give your credit-card number over the telephone unless you initiated the call.
Even when you place the call to a legitimate merchant (such as a mail-order company), never give your card number out over a cordless phone. Radio scanners that eavesdrop on these conversations are available for a few hundred dollars at any electronics store, and your voice can be received by one from a far greater distance than the maximum useful range of your cordless phone. One common scam is when someone calls you "back" right after you place an order, claims to be from the merchant and tells you that there was a problem with your card number -- would you mind giving it to them again? The best thing to do is ask for a contact name and call the merchant back at the number you used originally.
·           Ignore any credit-card offer that requires you to spend money up-front or fails to disclose the identity of the card issuer.
·           Make certain you get your card back after you make a purchase (one habit to observe is to leave your wallet open in your hand until you have the card back). Also, make sure that you personally rip up any voided or cancelled sales slips.
·           Always keep a list of your credit cards, credit-card numbers and toll-free numbers in case your card is stolen or lost.
·           Check your monthly statement to make certain all charges are your own, and immediately notify the card issuer of any errors or unauthorized charges. (More on this later!)

Quotes of Swami Vivekananda.....


*      When we have become free, we need not go mad and throw up society and rush off to die in the forest or the cave; we shall remain where we were, only we shall understand the whole thing.
       
*      Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.
      
*      The secret of life is not enjoyment but education through experience.
       
*      Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth until we experience it ourselves.
*      All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.
      
*      First, believe in the world—that there is meaning behind everything.
       
*      You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
      
*      The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. God is within us. He is the Soul of our souls. See Him in your own soul. That is practical religion. That is freedom.
       
*      As long as we believe ourselves to be even the least different from God, fear remains with us; but when we know ourselves to be the One, fear goes; of what can we be afraid?
       
*      Be strong! … You talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. "None but the brave deserves the fair." None but the bravest deserves salvation.
*       
*      All power is within you. You can do anything and everything. Believe in that. Do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. Stand up and express the divinity within you.
       
*      “The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.”
       
*      The highest manifestation of strength is to keep ourselves calm and on our own feet.
      
*      A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.

2 WAY MIRRORS - Its for your own Safety.

The below information is not to scare you, but to make sure that you aware.

How to determine if a mirror is 2 way or not. Many of the hotels and textile showrooms (trial room) May cheat the customers this way & may watch you privately.

How to detect a 2-way mirror

When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them).

There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?

Conduct this simple test

Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLYTOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do. This is a really good thing to do.

Reason

The reason there is gap on a real mirror, is because the silver or mercury is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass. Where as with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the Surface.

Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a film on you.

Please share this with your sisters, wife, daughters & friends.
Thank You.
