The thought of someone getting your credit cards and charging thousands of dollars to them is alarming. There are companies that are trying to ease such fears by offering credit card protection programs. Credit-card protection offers are popular with fraudulent promoters who are trying to exploit consumers’ uncertainty. In some cases, scare tactics and misleading information are used to sell protection that is not needed. Some scam artists even claim to be connected with your credit card issuer and ask you to verify your account number to make sure you are protected.
