I come from a country where most people don’t have a credit card.
I cannot wrap my head around [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vmh3_nSR1jU) documentary.
Now I get that credit card fraud *is* a big problem.
But if all you need is the card number to order stuff, and card numbers are so easy to come by as shown in the documentary, then why is not every single criminal in the US running a credit card fraud operation?
It seems super easy and low risk. Get a burner device, order stuff from public wifi, and don’t be stupid about the delivery locations.

OP that documentary is from 1992. Banking and Credit Systems have evolved substantially in 30 years. You’re thinking the entire US banking system is still being ran like its the 1980s.
