If your CC got used for a thousand dollars by someone else (fraud)

[Nerd]

Would you put that mutherfather in jail?

My friend online said his cc recently has been used by someone ordering computer equipment. I told him to just call his CC company up and dispute the charges and cancel the card.

What would you do?

i would call the CC company up and dispute the charges and cancel the card

if i got a new card and no superfluous charges, i'd be pissed. but that's about as much as i could actually do, just be pissed

If by some fate of chance the guy was actually in the US, let the credit card companies handle it. They have countless people working on fraud investigations. Contest the charges, sign the affidavit, let them deal with it.

OK, tell your friend I'm sorry and I'll stop.

You told him right.Legally, if it is a Credit Card, and not a Debit card, he is only liable for the first $50.00, and almost no institutions make a victim pay that.

The sad thing is that usually the vendor gets to eat the fraudulent charges.

Debit cards, I don't think have the same protections....but I sure would like to know what the liabilities on those are....

Anyone know?

dispute the ccarge, i got my credit card company do it, but the amount isn't that large like 80-100 dollar. easy, all it takes is a phone call. get them to send a new CC number
