I am sorry that we need a book like this, but alas, we do. As the authors points out, there are tons of clever, devious criminals out there, just waiting to separate us from our money.... Preventing Credit Card Fraud [is] a useful book–albeit a little bit scary. The authors write well, and the book is easy to follow. There are lots of summary pages and conclusions to help reinforce the main points. I confess I am not devious enough to know about all these scams. I appreciate the author exposing them, so we can take precautions.— BASSOCANTOR REVIEWS
