Answer 1

I used to do CC fraud, bank fraud, and fake iDs. There were little to nothing anybody could do to protect themselves, but the good thing was CC companies and banks were much more understanding about victims and gave back the monies that were stolen as a result of id theft. That’s changed and companies no longer trust anybody so you’re screwed now
