We've seen a large uptick in fraudulent credit card attempts in the past few weeks. Our credit card processors have their work cut-out for them :). As a side note: make sure you have your
Address verification service (AVS) enabled as some of these hackers aren't being too creative in the addresses that they enter with the credit cards.------------------------------

Somewhat of a poll. We noticed a huge spike in credit card fraud on Wednesday. I've seen the tweet about CNBC discovering it too but have any of you also been affected by it this week?

The group, calling itself "All World Cards" offered accounts to other crooks for *free* as an introductory offer. / Twitter"| Twitter | remove preview |
