Roswell, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2016 -- Everyone who has been a victim of credit card fraud would vouch on how excruciating and terrifying a situation like that can be. One would think things like fraud would be solved relatively soon, considering advancements in technology. However, this is very far from being true. In fact, online purchases have made fraudulent transactions even more common than they were few years ago.
Countless experts predicted that card-not-present transactions would make fraudulent transactions way more common. What they didn't predict though was consumers´ attitude towards this increase in cybercrime. Of all the people who suffered from fraud, 56% said they considerably reduced their online shopping, stopped using their credit card so often or even stopped using it completely. This shows us the majority of the consumers reckon a situation like that will occur again in the future. It´s worth to mention that 78% of the online shoppers have said they don´t feel safe enough when purchasing online.
Closing an account won´t have a significant negative effect on the consumers´ life, for they feel safer that way. The real losers are the card issuers, as they are losing revenues with each consumer that decided to close their card account as a result of a fraudulent transaction. Of course, chances are they will keep using cash to pay for their consumables. However, this won't generate any revenues for card issuers, which is why they are so concerned about this growing problem.
For this reason, there is an immense focus on trying to increase the safety when shopping online. However, to this day, nobody has come up with a viable solution that makes online shopping a completely safe experience both for buyers and merchants.
All in all, we can safely say fraudulent transactions hugely compromise more than just a handful of people.
