Dealing with the hassles of credit card fraud or identity theft can be frustrating and time consuming. This training will provide tips on how to protect yourself, your clients and your loved ones.
Credit card fraud is a type of theft where a credit card or payment information is used without authorization to obtain money or goods. Common types of credit card fraud include counterfeiting cards, using lost or stolen cards, providing card details without the physical card, and identity theft. An estimated Rs 8.2 crore is lost annually in India to credit card fraud. Victims have included ordinary citizens as well as prominent individuals. Fraud can be committed by cloning cards using scanning devices or stealing card information through unsecure online transactions. Consumers should protect themselves by being vigilant with their cards and payment details.

A Survey of Online Credit Card Fraud Detection using Data Mining TechniquesIJSRD
Nowadays the use of credit card has increased, because the amount of online transaction is growing. With the day to day use of credit card for payment online as well as regular purchase, case of fraud associated with it is also rising. To reduce the huge financial loss caused by frauds, a number of modern techniques have been developed for fraud detection which is based on data mining, neural network, genetic algorithm etc. Here a survey of techniques for online credit card fraud detection using Hidden Markov Model, Genetic Algorithm and Hybrid Model, and comparison between them has been shown.
This document summarizes a project to reduce fraudulent card transactions for a US national bank. An ensemble technique using logistic regression and K-nearest neighbors was developed to classify transactions as fraudulent or legitimate in real time. The project was estimated to reduce fraudulent losses by $16-18 million while costing $4.2 million to develop. Testing on 1 year of transaction data accurately classified transactions and reduced fraudulent cases by 80-90%, saving the bank $16 million.
This document analyzes various methods for credit card fraud detection. It discusses techniques like Dempster-Shafer theory, BLAST-SSAHA hybridization, hidden Markov models, evolutionary-fuzzy systems, and using Bayesian and neural networks. The document also compares the different fraud detection systems based on parameters like accuracy, method, true positive rate, false positive rate, and training data needed. In conclusion, the document states that efficient fraud detection is required, and techniques like fuzzy Darwinian systems and neural networks show good accuracy, while hidden Markov models have a low fraud detection rate.
There are three main types of identity crimes: identity theft, identity fraud, and account takeover. Identity theft involves stealing someone's personal information. Identity fraud is using stolen or fake identities for ethical or unethical purposes. Account takeover occurs when a fraudster uses someone's identity information like an email to access unauthorized financial or personal accounts. Globalization and technology like hacking, phishing, and spyware have made identity crimes easier to commit from anywhere. Careless behavior and oversharing of information online and in documents discarded without shredding also contribute to identity losses, with a survey finding that every minute sees 19 new victims.

This document discusses advanced credit card fraud detection techniques. It outlines that millions of dollars are lost annually to credit card fraud. It then describes different types of fraud like counterfeit cards, lost/stolen cards, and identity theft. It presents several data mining techniques used for fraud detection, including hidden Markov models, decision trees, k-nearest neighbor algorithm, and logistic regression. Specifically, it notes that hidden Markov models use automatic techniques to take action at precise times, decision trees separate complex problems, and k-nearest neighbor and support vector machines are used for easy detection and kernel representation/margin optimization respectively. The document concludes that logistic regression can minimize fraud rates and is easy to implement.

This document presents a seminar on a credit card fraud detection model based on the Apriori algorithm. The model uses frequent itemset mining to find legal and fraudulent transaction patterns for each customer, converting an imbalanced credit card transaction dataset into a balanced one. The model is trained using Apriori to generate legal and fraud transaction patterns for each customer. New transactions are then matched to these patterns to detect fraud. The proposed model works independently of attribute values and can handle class imbalance issues common in fraud detection.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

6. Forms of Fraud
• Dumpster Diving
– Stealing credit card information from
discarded receipts or account
statements in people’s trash
– Shred unwanted documents that contain
Social Security numbers, bank and
credit card information and other
sensitive financial information
7. Skimming
• When dishonest employees make illegal
copies of credit or debit cards using a
“skimmer” device that captures credit card
numbers and other account information
– The stolen credit information is used to
make purchases by phone and internet,
or to make counterfeit cards
8. Phishing
• Phishing is a financial crime that starts with
massive numbers of deceptive spam e-
mails
– These e-mails look like they come from
your bank
– But they are just a trick to get account
numbers and passwords
9. Security Codes
• Credit card companies use security codes
to help prevent unauthorized or fraudulent
use by phone and online
– These numbers help ensure that the
you have the card — not just the
account number
• Merchants are prohibited from keeping or
storing any security codes after
transactions are completed
10. Security Codes
• Security codes for Visa,
Master, and Discover
cards are the 3 digits
located on the back of
the card in the signature
box.
• Security codes for
American Express are 4-
digits long, printed on the
front of the card above
the right side of the main
credit card number.
11. New Cards
• For added protection, credit card issuers
ask you to call from home to activate new
credit cards
• As soon as you receive your new card,
sign the back of it with a permanent black
ink pen
12. Should you write
“Ask for ID”?
• Writing “Ask for ID” in the signature space
may not be a good idea as your
transactions might not go through if the
card isn’t signed
• Consider signing your card and also writing
“Ask for ID”
13. Liability
• Fraud victims are not generally required to
pay for unauthorized charges
• Victims may be liable for up to $50 of the
loss, depending on the circumstances

• Watch closely when store or restaurant
employees handles handle your card to
make sure they are not copying or
“Skimming” your credit card number
• After you make a purchase and your card
is handed back to you, make sure the card
is yours.
15. Take precautions
• Notify your credit card company if you are
going to be traveling away from home to
prevent any inconvenience if your issuer
should block your account for being used in
a new location
• Notify your credit card company if you are
going to make any unusually large
purchases so that your account is not
flagged for possible fraud
16. Safeguard your mail
• Notify the post office and your credit card
company immediately if you change your
address
• Lock your mailbox. Never leave mail in an
unlocked mail box or apartment building
lobby
• Put your return address on out-going mail
• Shred unwanted credit card solicitations
before discarding
