The $9.84 Credit Card Scam

If you are not one to check on the charges made to your credit card statement, I got news for you.

The scam is successful as the report goes because what the scammers charge is not much, just $9.84 or £5.95 depending on where you are.  They know that credit card owners tend to not notice the entry and if they do, would not bother with it, because it's a small amount afterall.  Clearly whomever thought of this is brilliant.  I hazard he's got an A+ in Social Engineering.


If you do get a bogus entry that says something along the line of website/online investment, you know you've been had.  Debit card holders?  You're part of the circle too.


I wonder if the guy who came out with this idea had the same experience as Hugh Jackman during his interview in Swordfish.
