ELi5: Why isn’t there more credit card fraud than I think when you give companies all card information?

234 views

Such as I just gave a pizza place my name, card number, expiration, security code and zip. The same goes for countless other companies where I’ve done the same. What’s to stop employees from using this information to make fraudulent purchases? Or does it happen and just hasn’t happened to me yet?

Because most people are actually decent and honest and don’t want to steal. If significantly more people were dishonest the system wouldn’t be able to work.
