Unlike the typical 'Advanced Fee' Nigerian Scam, this Credit Card scam does not work by emailing the victims with promise of huge sums of money to send to their bank accounts.
Instead, how this credit card works is when either the physical credit card is stolen to shop with offline.
Or the credit card information is used by the fraudsters and their colleagues all over the world to buy things on the Internet.
Even when it is eventually discovered that the credit card is stolen, the thieves would have already bought as many things as they wanted to online.
These days, the scammers now have sophisticated methods of not only stealing credit card information from unsuspecting victims, but also now sell such information to criminals in Nigeria, Indonesia and other 'high-risk' countries.
