What is Credit Card Fraud?​

Credit card fraud occurs when criminals use stolen credit card information, including card numbers and security codes, to make unauthorized purchases or transactions. This type of fraud exploits weaknesses in payment systems, online platforms, and individual security practices.

3. Phishing: Criminals send fraudulent emails or messages pretending to be legitimate organizations, aiming to trick individuals into revealing credit card information.
