We also never let our cards out of our sight and always keep the copies of our transaction receipt.
However, the shops, etc, also have a copy, and therein lies the problem. In Australia your receipt never shows the complete card number or the cards expiry date, but in Bali all is revealed.
The full number & expiry date is all that is needed to carry out phone or internet transactions.
Until Indonesia changes it's regulations, this will always be a problem unfortunately. I suppose Visa, etc, should insist on these standards before accrediting its agents.
