What is CVV in Debit And Credit Cards

CVV ( Card Verification Value ) in ATM, Debit and Credit Cards

Card verification value (CVV) is a combination of many features used in Debit Cards for the purpose of establishing your identity. This helps in minimising the risk of theft and fraud.

• Located on Back Side of Card.
• Generally of 3 Digits.
• Some cards may have 4 digit CVV.

In the following Video, evrything is discussed in Detail

There are two components to the CVV. The first code is recorded by the card issuer in a magnetic stripe. The long black stripe at the back of your Debit Card contains a large amount of data. The code is recovered by sliding the card through a magnetic stripe reader that reads your data to establish your unique identity.

When properly used, the CVV is highly effective against some forms of fraud. For example, if the data in the magnetic stripe is changed, a stripe reader will indicate a "damaged card" error. The flat-printed CVV is (or should be) routinely required for telephone or Internet-based purchases because it implies that the person placing the order has physical possession of the card. Some merchants check the flat-printed CVV even when transactions are conducted in person.



Why not to Share “CVV”  and other Card details

CVV is used when you make any on line payment.
While making online payment you need to enter 16 Digit card number, Card Validity Date and CVV.


Never Share your card details to anyone.
Your card details can be used to make online payment/purchases without your knowledge

Why Not to Buy Samsung LED TV

Why Not to Buy  Samsung LED TV

In this post I will discuss why not to Buy High Cost TVs of Top Brands.

First of All I will narrate my Story.

I have 2 Samsung LED Tvs, 

1: Samsung 40 Inches Full HD LED TV    Cost 55000 (4 Year Old)
2: Samsung 49 Inches Curved Full HD LED TV  Cost 90000.(1 Year 1 Month Old)

Also In my home all electronic product are of Samsung.

Just few days ago due a little power fluctuation, my both SAMSUNG TV's Power Supply and Screen Panel GONE.

The cost to repair 40 Inch TV is 30000+The cost to repair 49 Inch TV is not estimated by technician yet. it is expected to be 50000+.

The power fuluctuation was so little that it did not harmed any other product of my Home like Tubes etc.

Is this the quality of Samsung ? For this quality we are paying so much Cost ?

So Now I have decided not to buy any Samsung Product in future and also recommend not to buy any Samsung Product(High Cost Products)

So Which TV to Buy

Comparison of High Cost TV Brands and Low Cost TV Brands.

This comparison will help you to decide which  TV to Purchase

1: Cost : A Samsung 43 Inch Full HD LED TV Costs around 45000(MRP 49000  https://www.samsung.com/in/tvs/fhdtv-n5470/UA43N5470AUXXL/)  while a Intex or other lower brand 43 Inch Full HD TV costs around 23000.
Other brands TVS are avialable at half price.

Now you will say about quality. Yes I agree that there is difference in Quality, but when it comes to Full HD TV, there is not much disnguishable difference in Picture Quality.

Durability : Nothing can be said becasue my both Samsung TVs (49 Inch LED TC was just 1 year old) power supply and Pannel GONE in just small fluctuation.

2: Repair Cost : If something bad happens with your TV, the repair cost is very, very high. It is so high that you can buy a new TV.
In my case the repair cost for 40 Inch tv is  30000, and cost for 49 inch TV was 60000,  while I can but i new Intex TV 40 Inch in 23000.

Advise: Go for Low Cost TVs. Becasue they cost about half and their repair cost is also low.
As I said that I can buy a new TV in less amount than to repair my Samsung TV.
