Credit card fraud can take many forms. Some cases of card fraud involve intentional conduct by someone to launder money, usually to cover evidence of illegally obtained income. In many cases of credit card fraud, however, the central issue revolves around identity theft or other unauthorized use of a person’s card. Fraud involves an intention to deceive. In the case of credit fraud involving a card, the intent to deceive may be as regards activity by the card holder himself or against the credit card company by someone other than a credit card holder. Victims of identity theft often must close credit card accounts first, then attempt to engage in processes to recover lost funds from the fraud. Finally, credit fraud is attempted at times through Internet scams called phishing.
