definitely. I always used a debit card and had my identity stolen from an online purchase. It is such a pain because you have to deal with overdraft charges and closing the account and opening a new one, waiting on new checks and debit card....etc.

I got a credit card for online shopping now. If that gets stolen, I can dispute the charges and close the account, but I won't have the problem of overdrafts.

Took forever to get it straight. good luck.
