The Card Decline Scam

Tweet

Did You Hear About This New Scam? The Better Business Bureau has just sent a warning out about this new scam. Scammers are even talking about it online and how to do it. Anyone with a bank account is at risk. You might be shopping on what you think is a real site like Amazon for instance. You get an alert that your card has been declined. You are sure you have enough money in the account so you try it again or use another card. That is the worst thing you can do because this just gives the scammer more information about your cards. Be sure you are not on a clone site. Check that the address has the 'https:' at the beginning to ensure it is a secure site. It's better to use a credit card because it offers more protection against fraud. I hope you don't have this experience. I think it is better to know that this is happening. Good luck!
