Percentage defrauded 37%- what does this mean, at some point 37% of cards in Cardiff will be robbed, tampered with, used illegally, or 37% of people are defrauded in some way? Surely that is insanely high!

Maybe if you spent more time trying to sell windows and less time trying to tell "jokes", your business would be in better nick.

It does seem high. It means that 37% have lost money from their account.

3 years ago, I noticed a debit in my statement for about £60 which I didn't recognise. It was some kind of 'Paypal' type of business which I didn't use. Got reimbursed when I queiried it. Turns out the fraudsters were operating from Shanghai and could have cleaned out my account, but apparently they take out amounts of less than $100 which they know most affluent westerners won't notice. They probably pilfer the same account for years.

Always query a strange Debit on your account ..
they "test the water" by putting through a small amount
say£2-37p ..if it goes through okay , the next one is for hundreds ..
