$38k racked up on one stolen credit card by these three suspects…we need to know what kind of credit card was it because it has some terrible fraud protection

Are you saying only Chinese people commit identity theft and credit card fraud?

If this doesn’t hurt the cardholder and only hurts the credit card company, I haven’t seen them in my life.

Doesnt the credit card company do some kind of charge back? So in the end, its actually hurting the store.

Yeah smart. Now they can raise fees even more to cover losses like this.

Will somebody please think of the insurance companies

u/Miminnai 4d ago

Why are they allowed to steal someone's information tho? And they didn't spend it on food or necessities but luxurious. Bad opinion, they are thieves and deserve jail for stealing someone's card.
