Credit card fraud is extremely common—-credit card information
can be stolen by anyone you give your number to, including
retail clerks, wait staff in restaurants in bars who take it to
charge your bill, or telephone order-takers.  It can be
difficult to determine if your credit card has been compromised,
which is why many major banks have large fraud detection
departments to keep an eye out for unusual purchases on your
account. Many will remove the charges if the fraud is caught
quickly enough.  The guides below will help you determine when
and if you need a lawyer to deal with credit card fraud, what to
do if you are a victim of identity theft, and what to do if you
need to dispute fraudulent charges to your credit card.
