One of the most innacurate myths in U.S. history. In reality, if a credit card is stolen, the business where the criminal spent the funds at, will be hurt, not the card holder. If someone steals your card, and you tell the card company, they will take the money away from the business, not the customer. In turn, the business will lose money, go our of business, or be hurt permanently. However, most people still believe that THEY are the victim.
I don't recognize this $10 charge on my card, it must be identity theft, like they said on TV. I better call mastercard, so they can put the money back on my card. Wow, I'm so traumatized.
