There are a number of ways in which credit card fraud can be committed. For example, if a credit card is stolen, it is incredibly easy for someone to rack up a large amount of purchases in a very short time. Some stores in New York may request additional information, such as ZIP or postal codes, before a transaction is authorised, but these details can generally be found in a stolen wallet. Credit card fraud is extremely easy to conduct over the internet for this reason, as there is no face to face interaction between the two parties.

It is for this reason that the vast majority of credit card fraud involves the internet. All that is required is the numbers indentifying the card, which can be stolen in a number of ways. Credit card skimmers, which scan the data on a card as it is being inserted into a machine, are common ways of acquiring credit card data, but this information can also be acquired from store receipts and by employees of call centers.

The means through which credit card fraud can be committed are becoming increasingly sophisticated as time goes on and as security measures improve. As a result of this there is a growing and complex set of laws and legislation dealing with credit card fraud.
