On the trail of credit card sharks - Investigations
no wonder there is so much credit card fraud going on! the police don't care and the cardholders don't care because they aren't responsible for the charges. no one cares and that is why all this fraud goes on.

Sadly, that article didn't surprise me. But I was surprised to see that some small to mid-level website would get an average of a 100 fake credit card orders a day. That's a huge amount of fraud going on.
Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

Here in the United States the laws are very strict against credit card fraud with tough punishment. As mentioned in that article the problem is our law enforcement is not motivated enough to catch the criminals. This should come as now shock with the overall laziness of police officers to enforce the real laws. Instead they would rather spend their time harassing people for speeding or parking illegally. It's all about the money to them. If a crime doesn't bring in revenue in the form of fees for tickets, they have little incentive to go after them.
