Credit Card Fraud Protection

I know many people who have had their credit card used illegally whether by stealing the card number, skimming the card or Internet fraud. In the UK alone it was estimated that 428 million pounds was lost to credit card fraud in 2006 and the amount is growing each year. It is really scary how vulnerable we are to this kind of theft. Fortunately for consumers most quality credit cards on the market have a strong fraud protection system with many security checks in place to keep your money safe. Whether you apply for a business credit card or a personal credit card you will find that most offer a good level of protection.
