Frequently Asked Questions
I use credit cards for most of my purchases. I just heard on the news that millions of credit card records were stolen from the database of a store I shop at regularly. If my credit card number was in that database, what can I do to protect myself against credit card fraud?
Credit card fraud is a growing national epidemic. VISA and MasterCard have documented a rise in credit card fraud losses from about $760 million in 1996 to $1.1 billion in 2000 - and each year the numbers increase. As more and more personal and financial data is stored and transferred electronically, thieves have realized that there is big money in stealing and using this data in criminal ways.
If you do nothing to protect yourself, it could take months or even years before your credit report shows the effects of credit card fraud, but by then damage to your credit will already be done.
