Internet Scams: Identity Hacks and No Fico Credit Cards

Submitted by thefireguru
Mon, 6 Jul 2009

Identity hacks and no fico credit cards are just two of the scams one can find in the internet today. This article aims to take a closer look at these popular credit card scams and will give advice on how to spot and avoid them.

The internet is a place where boundaries are broken all the time. It has been a breeding ground for illegal activities. Do you have any idea of how the power of the internet opened up the flood gates of scammers everywhere? In the internet, the problem is and always has been authenticity and validity. How can you be sure for example that the client or store or person you are talking to is trustworthy? Since there is not much capital involved in setting up websites, this provides a sweet opportunity for scammers to set up overnight sites that fold up in a short time to cover their tracks. If you have ever heard of no fico credit cards, then you have probably heard about them in a website that offers them. Now, I am not saying that all of these are scams. These may actually be possible and there is a system to how an operation like this could work. What a legitimate no fico credit cards company would do is to have their customers sign in under a well established shelf company. The fees and credit limits will depend upon the strength of these shelf companies themselves. However, the fact is that I am yet to hear or see a credible testimonial of anyone who has tried such a service. The FICO system has been relied on by creditors for a reason. They need it to calculate a cardholder's risk, an act which is essential to a creditor's survival. More often than not, these credit cards without fico required are probably scams so it is best to simply stay away from them.

As for the other kind of scam, this has been in existence for a very long time. It has been around ever since credit cards where invented. A hacker may gain access to your account and withdraw money from your account using cloned cards and your access numbers. They can get this by making you sign or use your card in scam sites. They can also hack into your computer and get your card information if you use it online in any way. They do this through spyware. Therefore, keep your firewall and antivirus programs up to date. Also, never let your credit card out of your sight if ever you use it for a transaction. Finally, never write down your access numbers just anywhere. Simply memorize it so you won't have any problems.

The internet is a dangerous place. Use caution in everything, be it no fico credit cards being offered or in just basic usage of your credit card to ensure your security.
