Do You and Your Bank Know About Fraud Prevention?

Do You and Your Bank Know About Fraud Prevention?

Fraud prevention is by far one of the biggest concerns on not only the government’s minds but also you, as the consumer. Due to the amount of fraudulent activities there have been many changes in the way that we live our daily lives and how we handle our many. A good example of these changes is the movement from signed card receipts, of which could easily be signed by a fraudulent person to the new chip and pin system. However, no matter how hard you work if your bank is not taking the right fraud prevention precautions then you may find that all you do is in vein.

So what can your bank do in order to take the necessary fraud prevention precautions? Well aside from the chip and pin system, think about the online system your bank employs. Many banks have moved over now to the PinSentry system in order for you to receive a code, which in turn let you to get into your banking. This may have at first seemed safe, however, after a few months there were already claims surfacing that the system used to generate the unique codes had been cracked by software allowing such things to be done without the insertion of the card and pin code.

This would mean that further fraud prevention techniques would need to be put in place and in response to this. Since then banks have changed their systems (although there are still rumours of software that can duplicate the codes around). This code change has incorporated strict time limits on how long you have until your code becomes invalid as well as how long you can stay stationary on one page before you are automatically logged divulged. These fraud prevention techniques used online may not seem wish much when looked at individually as we are doing, but if you take all these techniques and merge them it becomes much harder for a person to steal your identity in order to access your money.

]]>
Fraud prevention does not stop at your online banking account as cards are being repeatedly used online where the security found in shops is no where to be seen online. Not only can your card be used online if they have stolen it but there is besides software, again illegal, that can make such information so that they don’t still require to move your card details.

However, the difference is that some banks, such as Natwest, have set in an extra filter which means that you are taken to a Natwest security site which then makes you have to use, not only your password, but also your pin number before the money is taken away of your account when doing a card purchase. By using this fraud prevention technique the majority of online fraud could be, and has been stopped, on the other hand if these tactics are not shared and used by all banks then your money might not be as procure as you believe.

If anything in this article has worried you do speak to your bank to do certain they have put in place full business fraud prevention systems for both online shopping and online banking.

Identity Theft Continues to Victimize Millions Each Year

Columbus, Ohio (Vocus) October 20, 2010

Apprisen Financial Advocates is a national nonprofit consumer credit counseling agency that provides personal financial counseling and financial education. When something happens 10 million times per year, it’s worth noting, and in recent years, that’s how many victims of identity theft have reported the abuse to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Further, ID theft has remained the number one complaint to the FTC for the past five years.

It can start the old-fashioned way with lost or stolen wallets, pilfered mail, or through documents thrown out by you or a business (dumpster diving). A consumer may also be victimized through more high-tech crimes including a data breach, computer virus, phishing or an Internet scam. Once the personal information is stolen, the crime can result in check fraud, credit card fraud, financial identity theft, criminal identity theft, governmental identity theft and medical identity theft.

Recognizing that awareness and education are essential tools necessary for consumers to protect themselves against ID theft, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) has teamed with the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB) to host the third annual Protect Your Identity Week October 17-23. During the week there are 175 local events in communities across the nation where consumers can take part in educational workshops, credit report reviews, responsibly recycle unused cell phones and have their personal documents shredded for free.

Consumers are urged to visit http://www.ProtectYourIDNow.org where they can locate events in their area, find useful prevention tips, victim resources, and take a quiz to assess their own risk of becoming the next identity theft victim.

“A recent NFCC online poll revealed that a majority of Americans fear identity theft, and that is a healthy fear to have if it leads them to take action,” said Michael S. Kappas, President and CEO, Apprisen Financial Advocates. “The upcoming educational events should go a long way toward help consumers protect themselves from the ever-present danger of identity theft.” For more information on ID Theft or what to do if you are a victim, call 800-355.2227.

Question by BofA victim: BofA CC Co. is not cooperating and returning my calls for a fraud/id theft case. ,500 involved.
Bank of America is not returning my calls regarding a fraud/stolen id case where a criminal stole my id and transferred $ 10,000 to another being bearing my name in a different bank, lulled managed by him. I had no idea until i checked my credit report which showed that BofA issued a cc under my name and the limit of $ 12,500 has been exceeded, to the tune of $ 14,500 including a bank transfer of $ 10,000. After “investigation” the bank found me responsible for the amount. I have received a bill from BofA credit card for $ 14,500 with interest charges, etc. The investigator has not responded to my phone calls, even though she has given me a phone number and her voice mail says she will return calls within 24 hours. Left three messages and she has not responded. I heard bad stories about BofA credit card company and their inefficiencies in handling such cases and helping the vicitims and trying to catch the culprits. Any advice would be helpful.

Best answer:

Answer by Studly
There is a specific procedure that you must follow in the event of ID Theft.1) File a police report2) Notify the credit bureau of ID Theft3) Send a signed and notarized affidavit to the creditor informing him that you are a victim if ID Theft, and that if they insist on holding you responsible they MUST supply you with validation for the debt. That includes a signed contract, copies of bills and acknowledged, and everything used to calculate what they claim you owe.Send all of these letters by certified mail/uprise receipt, and give them 30 days to prove their case.VERY IMPORTANT! You MUST dispute this with the credit bureau as ID Theft.If they don’t respond or drop this from your report, contact an attorney and file a lawsuit. You will win a few thousand for your disturb. If you follow the above procedures, they will be in willful non-compliance with the FCRA laws.
