Are You More Susceptible to Credit Card Fraud?

Of course, anyone that owns a credit card is at risk of falling victim to credit card fraud, as this type of activity is rife these days with fraudsters using increasingly sophisticated methods in order to commit fraudulent crimes relating to credit cards and even debit cards/bank accounts.

However, according to a recent report there are some groups that are more at risk of falling victim to credit card fraud than others, and these groups are being urged to exercise increased caution when it comes to their credit cards.

Young people and men more susceptible to credit card fraud

The data comes from a study that was carried out by Saga, and the results of the study showed that both younger people and men were at increased risk of falling victim to credit card fraud.

A number of reasons were given for these increased risks, with one of the major risk factors being that people within these two groups are more likely to have multiple credit cards and carry all of their cards around with them at the same time.

There was particular emphasis on the fact that younger consumers could be highly susceptible to credit card fraud, with an official from Saga stating: “The younger generation are obviously more gung-ho and do not think that this kind of thing will happen to them and also if something does ensue, they may be relying on financial institutions to reimburse them.”

Stay cautious

However, with a separate study from AXA showing that around fifty percent of youngsters aged between fifteen and seventeen were considering applying for a credit card when they turn eighteen it is vital for younger consumers to consider the importance of being extremely cautious with their credit cards.

One mistake to avoid is carrying around multiple credit cards, as this can increase the chances of becoming a victim of fraud. Another important factor is to avoid using the same PIN for all cards, as this can also increase risks.

All credit card holders should be extremely careful with regards to using their cards on websites that are not known to them, and should be very cautious about who is able to access their credit card information, whether it be through obtaining their card or through hearing them give out details on the phone or to another person.

Anyone Remember Hillary’s Campaign Manager Maggie Williams?

Foster worked closely with first lady Hillary Clinton, his former Arkansas law partner.
Vince Foster was not only deputy White House counsel but also the personal attorney to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Foster was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound to the head in Ft. Marcy Park.
While the U.S. Park Police studied the body, Foster’s office at the White House was being looted.
Secret Service agent Henry O’ Neill watched as Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, Margaret Williams, carried boxes of papers out of Vincent Foster’s office before the Park Police showed up to seal it, yet the official identification of Vincent Foster’s body by Craig Livingstone did not take place until 10PM!
Another Secret Serviceman saw Craig Livingston remove items from Vincent Foster’s office in violation of the official seal.
Two envelopes reported to be in the safe by Foster’s secretary Deborah Gorham, addressed to Janet Reno and to William Kennedy III, were never seen again. When asked the next day regarding rumors of the safe opening, Mack McLarty told reporters Foster’s office did not even have a safe, a claim immediately shot down by former occupants of that office.
The boxes of documents removed from Foster’s office by Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, Margaret Williams, were taken to the private residence area of the White House! Eventually, only 54 pages emerged.
One set of billing records, under subpoena for two years, and thought to have originated in Foster’s office, turned up unexpectedly in the private quarters of the White House, with Hillary’s fingerprints on them.

Always be Careful With Your Credit Card Details

Over recent years credit card fraudsters have been looking at different ways to try and obtain the card details of people, and those that are handed the details on a plate by the cardholder are able to access their accounts, take their money, and steal their identity.

This is why people are continually being urged not to give out their credit card details to anyone that asks, no matter where they claim to be from. However, many cardholders still give out this information in response to phone calls, letters, and emails, and many end up becoming the victims of card crime.

Often these fraudsters will target more vulnerable cardholders who are more likely to give away their details without thinking about the consequences. And quite often the fraudsters manage to get the card details with the promise of cash for the cardholder at the end of it.

This is something that cardholders are urged to think carefully about – it is important never to give out your details in response to an email, letter, or unsolicited phone call because no matter who the caller or writer claims to be you never actually know who you are giving those important card details to.

For example, one recent case has been highlighted in credit card guides. Some people have been receiving emails claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs, and the email states that they are entitled to a tax refund. However, the email also asks for their credit card details. It claims that the tax refund will be provided through the customer’s credit card account, and some cardholders have fallen hook, line, and sinker for this scam, enabling the fraudsters to take their money.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants has been issuing warnings about these fake emails, which are being sent to consumers in England and Wales, warning people not to provide their card details in response to the email.

Banks and agencies have always said that they never phone or email consumers asking them for their credit card account details, and any such phone call or email should be treated with the utmost suspicion.

While you can make sure you compare credit cards and choose a high fraud protection and security credit card, you still need to do everything you can to prevent fraud from happening.
