Credit
and charge cards are a common target for thieves. They find credit card numbers
on receipts in the trash, or may use your credit card without permission. Online
order-takers, telemarketers, or retail store clerks might use your card numbers
to make their own purchases.
Since credit card fraudsters are often sneaky,
it can be difficult to know when your card is being misused. Usually you are
responsible for only $50 of the purchases made before you report your card lost
or stolen. After you report the card lost or stolen, credit card fraud laws
apply and you are not responsible for any more losses. If your credit card
company wants you to pay for stolen card charges, a credit card fraud lawyer
can help you.
