Spree

Do you knew where your credit card is? Have a couple of shopgirls taken it on a shopping spree after you left it at their store? Or has a cleaner gleaned credit card information from your rubbish and used it to fly to another country (three times!) in search of a wife? These are just two of the stories in one newspaper - so how much credit card fraud occurs in a single day throughout the world? And if you found someone had inadvertently left their card in your shop and you decided to take advantage of it, how much could you spend, and how quickly? More than $7,000 in 90 minutes is the benchmark- set by two women in Sydney who spent up on clothing, perfume and designer bags.
