Comments on: I am a victim of credit card fraud! http://tiffanybbrown.com/2008/05/25/i-am-a-victim-of-credit-card-fraud/ A web log about web development and internet culture with frequent detours into other stuff.

I work for an online store, and weekly there are total account take overs on American Express cards. This includes name and address changes, and they allow it! Their fraud prevention department does not listen to us when we call and tell them that we suspect an order of being fraudulent, and they tell us to ship the items...several times now, we've had the real customers call us saying the order was fraud. Good Grief. Actually, American Express has been getting worse with fraud prevention. I work for an online store, and weekly there are total account take overs on American Express cards.

Obviously, this is a person needs some psychological help in addition for serving time for fraud. I wonder how many other people she did this too? Thank GOD you have Amex. They are excellent for letting you know what is going on with your credit card history. [Tiffany] What is sad is that this person was so desperate for some hair products and greasy food.

It's also a little bit scary because my credit card has several years worth of information on my buying habits. I could have an AmEx stalker. Somewhere in here there's a point about how much information your consumption and credit card use habits reveal. The Beauty Source purchase -- over $120 -- for example, suggests that this fraudster is a sistah. Here's what I don't get though: If American Express caught and stopped the three Beauty Source purchases, how did they not stop the other 13 charges made that day? This is true.
