Credit Card Fraud
Every year, thousands of people become victims of credit card fraud. This form of theft applies to situations in which an individual or party fraudulently uses another person’s credit card to complete monetary transactions. According to MasterCard and Visa, these companies lost a total of $2.8 million to credit card fraud in 2005. Credit card users and companies lose, in total, hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Clearly, due to its ease of exploitation, this form of criminal activity is quite popular among thieves.
