Start by examining the card visually. Look for any signs of tampering such as a foreign object inserted into the card slot, altered embossing, or missing or mismatched card information.

Step 3: Perform a Transaction
Attempt a small transaction to test the card's validity. If the transaction is authorized, it indicates that the card is legitimate. If not, it could be a fraudulent card.
Step 4: Monitor for Unusual Activity
After the transaction, keep an eye on the account for any unauthorized purchases. This will help confirm whether the card was used fraudulently.
