4 Tips to Prevent Auction Holiday Fraud

Written on January 22, 2012 – 2:35 am | by Brayden Lorenzini

Auction fraud refers to fraudulent transactions that take place through auction and classifieds websites.  Either a product advertised may be misrepresented by the seller or the items sold are never delivered at all.

This holiday season, as you seek out hard-to-find gifts and look for the best prices, keep in mind that not everyone out there on the wild, wild web has good intentions.

Auction sites are ground zero for scammers. It’s very easy to set up a free auction page from anywhere in the world, collect people’s money, and run.

Here are four tips to keep you safe when shopping through auction websites.

1. Use strong passwords: Use complex passwords that are hard to crack but easy to remember. Passwords should include upper and lowercase letters as well as numbers, and, if possible, other characters.
2. Look out for phishing emails: Any email that appears to have been sent from an auction site should be considered suspect. Cert

Watch Out for Credit Card Skimmers to Avoid Credit and Debit Card Fraud

Written on December 28, 2011 – 3:19 pm | by Brayden Lorenzini

By the AllClear ID Team

Chris here with the AllClear ID Investigation team. Identity thieves are placing credit card skimming devices everywhere, but particularly on gas pumps, and as we wrote earlier, on outdoor ATMs.

These devices are small and hard for the typical person to detect, but they can be financially lethal. Skimmers are designed to capture credit card information when one is scanned through for a purchase, and then they either transmit the information via a Bluetooth device to a nearby laptop, or store it locally for the thief to pick up at a later date. This information can then be used online, or uploaded onto a blank card for making purchases.

Skimmer devices are made to look exactly like the regular card scanner that is already on the ATM or gas pump, and they attach perfectly to the face of the machine. Most people never even notice that there is anything different with the machine they’re using. The skimmer doesn’t stop you from making your purchase or ATM transaction so everything works as usual.
