The baseline level of payments fraud is through the roof in the States. I have never had a fraudulent transaction on any card or service in Ireland. In the US, it’s literally a monthly event. I have to actually check my statements for the fraudulent transactions. That’s not normal elsewhere.
- legitster 4y agoThat's not normal in the US either? Where are you banking? I've had one credit card compromised in my life, and my bank alerted me before a dollar left my account.
- jcranmer 4y agoMy sole experience with credit card compromise was almost as good--there was one fraudulent charge, but the bank reversed it, canceled, and issued a new card before I could get a chance to notice it.
- happyopossum 4y ago> In the US, it’s literally a monthly event I'm calling BS. Virtually everyone I know has either had zero, or at most one or two experiences with fraudulent charges, and they're cleared up immediately with a phone call.
- wizofaus 4y agoFraud is still very much a real problem though (not just in the US). Maybe the circle of people you know aren't typical and actually take reasonable steps to protect their account details.
- astrange 4y agoAre you going to a lot of gas stations and ATMs? This should be eliminated by not paying with card swipes.
