Default Popular products used for CC fraud!

Fraudsters seem to prefer small and valuable products, such as watches, jewelry, laptops, digital cameras, and camcorders. These items are usually commodities that are easily sellable and have a broad range of appeal. The craft has continually evolved in sophistication. In some instances, a picture of the product is sent in place of the actual product. Other times, products are outright never sent after the bill is charged to credit card accounts. Victims are left to deal with credit card companies for chargebacks.

These are usually the products that can be easily manipulated through pictures and wording of ad print.

Some strict action needs to be taken against such manipulators.
