Why do credit card fraudsters get away with it?

I bought some stuff online a few months ago and was soon contacted by my credit card company to say that someone bought 200 worth of goods with my card. I got a new one and today got another call to say someone tried to book into a hotel twice today with my card. Whay does this keep happening. Could my computer be infected . Also why do these fraudsters get away with it? I asked the guy from the card company if the person would be caught and he said no probably not?|||There is no way to prove who is doing it that is why credit cards usually have insurance on them.

I would take the computer to a computer shop to have them check it for viruses just to be on the safe side. Also, make sure to get a free credit report done to make sure nothing else strange is going on!|||Because "fraudsters" (LOL!!) evolve just as fast as the security technology used to stop them.

Also employees of the credit card companies are willing to sell the information to them because they aren't getting paid enough and are disgruntle.|||They had something on this on 60 minutes. It's amazing what they can get away with. The good news is that you aren't liable for more than $50 by law, so you really don't need credit card insurance.





You may have to increase your security on your computer if you keep credit card numbers on your computer. You also might have some kind of hackers into your computer, especially if you have anything there such as a whole slew of website where you pay your account on line.





Who knows? I'm not an i. t. person, but I haven't been hacked either.





Good luck.|||cost of investigating is insane.and has insurance covers banks,they weigh it out and just pay off. Dont really like insurance companies anyways.they refused to pay out on my genuine claim once.Careful using ur card online.there are hackers that can get ur details of web sites that store ur information.get visa verified and limit info u leave on social websites|||Because the credit card companies don't prosecute. They write it off as a cost of doing business, which ultimately hurts you, the credit card user, through higher interest rates and fees.
