What is Credit Card Fraud?
Credit card fraud is a type of theft crime that involves theft by deception and may also include the crime of identity theft. Individuals that commit credit card fraud do so in order to obtain goods or money. The crime may involve the use of a credit card over the internet to make a purchase and having the purchase sent to an untraceable or false address, or it may involve making withdrawals from someone’s bank account through the use of an ATM or other means.
Credit card fraud often involves forgery, as a person may need to sign the card or mail receipts or forge some type of document. Local law enforcement will typically not investigate credit card fraud unless charges exceed $2,000, and the secret service will not investigate unless the charges exceed $150,000. This means that many individuals who commit credit card fraud go unpunished.
