Major Reasons for Unauthorized Credit Card Transactions

Reason #1:

Merchants are not comparing the signature on the back of the card with the cardholder's signature

Reason #2:

Merchants must take the time to verify information that is given over the Internet or via the telephone. Because this is a non-face-to-face transaction, it is important to make certain that the person using the card is the cardholder. If need be, call the cardholder to confirm the order.

Reason #3:

Face-to-face transactions also require due diligence on the merchants' part. Check the credit card for the hologram, and make certain it bears no alteration marks.

Reason #4:

The merchant rushes through the transaction. Consumers who knowingly commit credit card fraud at a store wait for a busy time when it is unlikely that the merchant will scrutinize the card.
