At least it puts a cap on the potential losses! I never use my credit cards in Malaysia, Indonesia, and in Africa unless it is an emergency - I carry a special Foreign Exchange card which I can load up with whatever currency I want before I travel - again to put a cap on losses if fraud occurs. That said, I never have had a fraud on my cards yet...(-: Cheers Jayanand On Sat, Jul 19, 2014 at 12:10 AM, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> wrote: > I normally check charges to my major credit card a couple of times a week. > Last evening, I discovered two fraudulent charges totaling well over $1000 > that had appeared since Saturday.
