If someone steals my card numbers to purchase something online, could I find out where they ship whatever they ordered too, or would I only be able to find out the amount they spent?
On your statement would be the phone number to call the supplier of said shipment. Call and tell them you think you may have screwed up the address and they may tell you the address where shipment was sent. Tell them the proper address it should have gone to , if it has not been shipped, change it or cancel the order for whatever reason. Right away contact the credit card company and cancel the card so it can't be used again. They will send you a new one with different numbers in about a week. Tell the card company of the fraudulent use and they may remove it from the statement and you wont have to pay it. You're not liable for the unauthorized use. The numbers were stolen, same as losing the card or it was stolen. ALWAYS report it immediately.
Someone used my credit card to buy an iphone. Can they track the phone? Will it notify when the person activates the phone?
The credit card company can easily determine when and where the phone was purchased, and report that fact to the vendor of the phone, to the mobile carrier to which the phone is attached, to Apple itself, and of course to the police in the appropriate jurisdiction.An iPhone (or any other device that connects to the internet or especially to a mobile phone network) is an especially stupid thing to steal because it’s so easy to identify and geo-locate the instrument on a continuous basis.That said, there is a serious market in some third-world countries for iPhones, but in those instances the phone is wiped (if not new) and connects to a local cellular carrier, none of which impacts your account or credit rating.
Can I trace someone using my credit card online?
In some instances, you may be able to see where an item was shipped to and gain some info from there. That would typically be the case if someone used your account (say, Amazon or PayPal), but may not be possible if they used a separate account.
How to buy something online with parents credit card without them knowing?
You can't do that. The amount you charge will be added to your parents' bill and they will have to pay it when the bill is due at the end of the month. If they check their balance on line (most people do), they'll see that you made a purchase even before the bill due date. Their statement will show how much you spent, where you spent it, and what date. Did you think a credit card is just some magic numbers that you punch in and get things for free? It's not. They SEND A BILL so that the person whose card it is can PAY FOR the things they buy. Just tell your parents the truth.
What if you somehow typed the wrong credit card number and that number belonged to someone elses when buying something,what would happen?
You don't have anything to worry about. It's a common mistake. I've done it a few times and I'm not in jail. It's not likely the charge will go through. The card's billing address isn't the same as the billing address that you entered for your order - it must be correct. It's a rudimentary security check - a criminal would not likely have the billing address of a card. But it's possible if the criminal stole the card with other ID info. When I enter the incorrect number, the online website gives me an errors message. Also, the CVV must be correct, another security check.
I used someones credit card.. Help!?
Dont listen to these people! They dont know. ive been in the malicious hackers circle for a while now going on ten years and i know alot of carders that do what you precisely did, for profit. It depends how traceable your ip adress is. The website you ordered from definatley recorded your IP. Did you use your real name on the package address? Did you use the schools wifi or yohr own hotspot or cellphone? These are all ways the order can be traced directly to you. Just because you messed up on one of these rules also doesnt mean you will be caught. The owner of the card might not even notice the fraudulent charge, if she does she will report it to the card company, not the police. The card companies rarely go to local police over one charge. Above all though, do NOT get into contact with the card holder and NEVER EVER ADMIT GUILT. DO NOT TRY TO PAY THE CARD HOLDER BACK AND ASK FOR "FORGIVENESS". The card holder will almost certainly call police if you did that. Next time stay incognito
If someone ordered something online and had the product sent to their house using my credit card number, can I do something about it?
call your credit card company and get that card canceled right away and tell them you did not authorize that purchase and if you know the exact address of where it was shipped to, give than info to the credit card company for their Fraud Division to follow up on
Is it easy getting caught using someone's else's credit card?
It depends. Credit Card companies or Banks are not doing investigation to find out who steal someone else credit card information (mostly when the charge is not significant!) Spending time means they need to pay someone to do investigation and that can be a big cost to them which is not worth it most of the time! Also bring someone who use somebody else card to the court need money because of lawyer cost! Therefore, They normally invest money in finding a way to prevent fraud happening instead of catching criminal!At the end that does not mean if you steal someone else credit card and used it, that s okay! There a chance you get into big trouble if card holder or merchant report that to the police!
I lost my debit card. I want to buy something online. How do I find out my number?
