Alot of US cardholders are victiums of fraud, yes. But what matters is where the fraud is bring done from.
And most cards used in fraudlant orders are used from overseas and they belong to American cardholders. This is simply because Americans have more credit cards than the rest of the world combined. The average family has four cards, I head - not counting debit and ATM cards.
But that is only because US citiziens are far too careless with thier private information, far too stupid to safegaurd it and volunteer thier information far too easily.
I ordered a phone line the other day, and they wanted my social security number. And I said "No." She said I have to give it out. And I said "No I dont, and you have to provide me service". She put me on hold and got a supervisor.
It was clear that no one - out the thousands of calls that rep had taken in the course of her employment - had ever refused to give that to her.
