In a recession there are very few areas of the economy which are
in an upward trend, but credit card fraud and credit card theft are
two areas which are booming at the moment
According to
www.financialadvice.co.uk, credit card fraud in the UK has
risen to record levels over the last two years helped by the fact
that many people appear not even to check or open their credit card
statements.
Criminals are also increasingly taking advantage of the
popularity of online purchasing.
Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash said: "As online shopping becomes
more popular, it makes sense that credit card fraud would see an
increase too as people are unaware of how to protect their
financial details or do not choose alternative payment methods.
Ukash as a cash payment solution for online shopping allows
consumers to make secure and private transactions and eliminate any
risk of credit card fraud. When times are tough and cash is tight
it makes sense to take extra streps and protect yourself against
online fraud."
Ukash protects online consumers from internet fraud by
providing them with the opportunity to make online payments to shop
and play online, securely and privately, using cash on thousands of
websites throughout the world. www.ukash.com.
