Credit Card Fraud Prevention System

Utilizes a 'fake' credit card that when swiped detects the unauthorized use and theft of credit cards.


Overview

 

Typically stolen credit cards are used within the first few hours of the theft, and before the cardholder knows there is a problem.

The card is kept with the cardholders regular credit cards and never used.  If the cardholder's wallet is stolen and the thief uses the 'fake' credit card, all the cardholder's financial institutions are immediately notified of the fraud, allowing them to cancel and dispatch new cards to the cardholder.
