Ten (10) Cons of/for an International Credit Card & Beat the recession chain letter scam(s)
Ten (10) Cons of/for an International Credit Card
Credit card fraud is a fast increasing crime in the world. International Credit Card holders are mostly the victims of this unauthorized access to their accounts. Let?s take a closer look of the problems faced by international credit cards.
1. Repetitive use of credit card numbers. After a credit card number has been used and disregarded, say cancelled, credit card companies would reissue the same number to other cardholders. The personal identification numbers (PIN) is changed as well as the credit cardholder?s personal information. But it still bears the same credit card number.
2. Low standards when it comes to the use of cards by the participating merchants. This is a common problem encountered by international credit cardholders. Employees of the participating merchants have the full access to the account number as well as the security number of the card.
3. Account Statements given out by credit card companies contains less information about the participating merchant. It does not include relevant information about the vendor that charged any transaction on the credit card.
4. Unreliable blocking functions. Once a card loss is reported, it will still take months for the credit card companies to block the transactions being made through the stolen or lost credit card.
5. Lack of validation software. Participating vendors should have better validation software installed on their computer system.
6. Consumer unfriendly policies on fraud management. The policies on the present fraud management take the blame on the cardholders though not directly stipulated. This means that the policies on the fraud management of international credit card companies protect not the consumers but the company.
7. Lax standards on investigation about fraudulent transactions. This is the sad part for the victims of fraud through their credit cards. Getting the suspects charged though proven guilty of fraud seems to take on slowly.
8. Credit card fraud is usually committed through online transactions. This means that credit cardholders are not protected with the authorized or unauthorized use of their cards on purchases or services paid online.
9. Most of the companies that typically appear on charges are those associated with pornography industry. These companies are the ones that accept transactions even without verifying the cardholder's information.
10. Most of the banks' systems are not compatible with other international credit card companies for the e-commerce. This is a potential weakness that would mean loss of clients so they would prefer to keep quiet about it.
Beat the recession chain letter scam(s)
SCAMwatch is warning Australians .and. Commonwealth Citizens in general, to be on the lookout for a new chain letter scam seeking to take advantage of the current economic climate.
Reports to SCAMwatch indicate that consumers in Australia .and. Commonwealth countries are receiving letters advising they have been chosen to be one of the first to participate in a plan designed to beat the recession. The letter claims that you can earn over $600,000.
In the letter, Beverley Martin, reputedly from the UK, says she set herself up for life when she discovered a new way to tackle the recession. She claims her plan has enabled her to bank over £750,000 (1,056,022.40 USD) in the past 12 months .and. allows her to make a consistent six figure income – it requires no staff .and. only a tiny set up capital (less than $200).
The Beverley Martin Chain Letter [{ Chain Letter Example }]
The letter contains instructions on how to implement Ms. Martin's 'plan(s)'. The recipient is asked to send $20 to the person at the top of a list of names enclosed with the letter, add their name to the bottom of the list, copy the letter .and. send it on to at least 200 people. The recipient is advised that to make the transaction legal in Australia .or. any of the Commonwealth countries they should add a particular comment when enclosing the $20 i.e. 'please accept this $20 gift'.
SCAMwatch advises that Ms Martin's 'amazing business plan' exhibits all the warning signs of a classic chain letter. These schemes are illegal .and. are a type of pyramid scheme.
SCAMwatch warns consumers to not:
* make any decisions without doing your homework – don't be fooled by the promise of easy money.
* respond - you will only be wasting your time .and. money by forwarding it on to other people
Protect yourself
* If it looks too good to be true—it probably is.
* You can contact your local office of Fair Trading, ASIC .or. the ACCC for assistance.
* Beware of products .or. schemes that claim to guarantee income .or. winnings.
* Remember that family members .and. friends may try to involve you in a scam without realising that it is a scam: you should seek independent advice.
Report
You can report the matter on the Report a scam page in SCAMwatch. Warn your friends, family, colleagues .and. neighbours about the scam.

Pyramid schemes Pyramid schemes are illegal .and. very risky ‘get-rich-quick’ schemes that can end up costing you a lot of money.
Nigerian scams
Nigerian scams involve someone overseas offering you a share in a large sum of money or a payment on the condition you help them to transfer money out of their country. While these scams originated in Nigeria, they now come from all over the world.

How this scam works
The scammer will contact you out of the blue by email, letter, text message or through social media.
The scammer will tell you an elaborate story about large amounts of their money trapped in banks during events such as civil wars or coups, often in countries currently in the news. Or they may tell you about a large inheritance that is 'difficult to access' because of government restrictions or taxes in their country. The scammer will then offer you a large sum of money to help them transfer their personal fortune out of the country.
These scams are often known as 'Nigerian 419' scams because the first wave of them came from Nigeria. The '419' part of the name comes from the section of Nigeria’s Criminal Code which outlaws the practice. These scams now come from anywhere in the world.
Scammers may ask for your bank account details to 'help them transfer the money' and use this information to later steal your funds.
Or they may ask you to pay fees, charges or taxes to 'help release or transfer the money out of the country' through your bank. These fees may even start out as quite small amounts. If paid, the scammer may make up new fees that require payment before you can receive your reward. They will keep asking for more money as long as you are willing to part with it.
You will never be sent the money that was promised.
Warning signs
You receive a contact out of the blue asking you to 'help' someone from another country transfer money out of their country (e.g. Nigeria, Sierra Leone or Iraq).
The request includes a long and often sad story about why the money cannot be transferred by the owner. This typically involves some type of conflict or inheritance and they may want to move the money straight into your account.
You are offered a financial reward, such as a share in the amount, for helping them access their 'trapped' funds. The amount of money to be transferred, and the payment that the scammer promises to you if you help, is usually very large.
They will claim that a bank, lawyer, government agency or other organisation requires some fees to be paid before the money can be moved. The scammer will often ask you to make payments for the fee via a money transfer service.
Protect yourself
* Never send money or give credit card details, online account details or copies of personal documents to anyone you don’t know or trust.
* Avoid any arrangement with a stranger that asks for up-front payment via money order, wire transfer, international funds transfer, pre-loaded card or electronic currency, like Bitcoin. It is rare to recover money sent this way.
* Do not agree to transfer money for someone else. Money laundering is a criminal offence.
* Seek independent advice from someone you know and trust if in doubt.
* If someone is claiming to be from a particular organisation verify the identity of the contact by calling the relevant organisation directly – find them through an independent source such as a phone book or online search. Do not use the contact details provided in the message sent to you.
* Do an internet search using the names, contact details or exact wording of the letter/email to check for any references to a scam – many scams can be identified this way.
* If you think it’s a scam, don't respond — scammers will use a personal touch to play on your emotions to get what they want.
* Remember there are no get-rich-quick schemes: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Have you been scammed?
If you think you have provided your account details, passport, tax file number, licence, Medicare or other personal identification details to a scammer, contact your bank, financial institution, or other relevant agencies immediately.
We encourage you to report scams to the ACCC via the report a scam page. This helps us to warn people about current scams, monitor trends and disrupt scams where possible. Please include details of the scam contact you received, for example, email or screenshot.
We also provide guidance on protecting yourself from scams and where to get help.
Spread the word to your friends and family to protect them.
