Stop Credit Card Thieves

From MSN Money: "22 ways to foil credit card thieves," by Liz Pulliam Weston--

In some ways, credit card fraud isn’t the problem it’s often made out to be.

Visa says fraud accounts for about 7 cents of every $100 spent on its credit cards, an all-time low and about half the rate of 10 years ago. Add to that the fact that the major credit card companies have “zero liability” policies, which means the vast majority of consumers who are victims don’t wind up paying a dime out of their own pockets.

Why, then, should you worry?

Well, for one, credit card fraud is a hassle. You often need to have your account closed and a new one opened, which can leave you without a card for a week or more. That’s inconvenient, and it can mess up any automatic payments charged to that card.
