Credit card fraud and identify theft are distinct threats with distinct solutions. On underground forums they're also distinct products obtained and sold in different ways (cvvs/dumps vs fullz).
It has taken a long time and a lot of media exposure to raise awareness of these two concepts to ordinary people. My parents now know what both identity theft and credit card fraud are - and they understand the basics of how to deal with each.
To start over again with any of these terms because of a nuance of definition and semantics would be extremely counterproductive.
