credit card fraud Question And Answer
Prevent Credit Card Fraud?
I work for a sales company and I was wondering if there is any software that could help prevent credit card fraud. I want to check all credit card numbers for duplicates to ensure that numbers aren't copied from previous sales. Please help...I want to go home and have a good weekend and I am tired of searching the web!!!

Hi!
No such software exists..that's probably why you didn't find anything. I would be leary of even storing CC# on a server..even temporarily. The best bet is to see if temporary files are made..and delete them periodically.
Protecting Your Credit Information
The best protection is regular awareness about the usage of your credit information. Select passwords carefully. Do not use commonly known information like your mother’s maiden name, your birth date, the last four digits of your SS#, or your phone number. If you need to use this information to open an account, change your password immediately, once the account is opened. Keep your credit information locked away even at home. Do not give any information unless you are aware of the use it will be put to and by whom.
