| | Ten Ways to Foil Credit Card FraudstersWritten by Heather Reimer
In last twelve months, credit card fraud against online companies has exploded as more and more thieves figure out how easy it is.

So here are some easy ways to protect your e-business from credit card fraudsters: 1. Reject orders sent from free web-based email accounts like Yahoo or Hotmail. Antifraud.com says nearly all fraudulent orders come from free accounts. 2. Most real businesses have e-mail addresses that include their website's domain name.
