Thread: How Much Does Fraud Cost Credit Card Companies

obviously someone is making a killing on the fee and i think their first name is master and their last name is card.

This is because debit cards do not carry the same degree of fraud protection. In fact debit card fraud where the criminal uses the pin number has very little protection for the actual cardholder, who essentially is at the mercy of the bank as whether or not the charges will be reimbursed.

It is not even the cardholder that is careless and loses the card
