Hi,
This type of stuff was my old job.
Depending on where (what country) you live it all has diff rules.
Nick is correct...
BUT for internet purchases it is not so easy...
Sometimes people get hold of your details and you have no idea until purchases turn up on your CC bill.
Most scammers will make small purchases over a long time,,,,,so that you have NO IDEA.
I caught a 15yo guy who was taking $2 a week out of over 500 seperate accounts.....NOT any of those 500 accounts queried a $2 fee each week.
Who even notices a $2 a week fee..



from your bank???
They people who take a few grand know they will get caught quickly,,,,,watch the small amounts disappearing....those people can go on forever without being caught.......and by the time they do get caught,,,,,,,they are LOOOONG gone.
