Credit Card fraud - What happens if you make a purchase and then call the company ?

I know someone who purchased quite a bit of merchandise/services and then called the company and claimed he lost his card and someone must have used it. The company dismissed the charges. I think this is horrible and the money was owed for the services. If he was caught I am assuming charges could be brought against him. Does anyone know the penalty for this?

    at first, are you signed up for any subscriptions on the internet, or habitual billing at a well being middle or different sort of place which will debit your account at once? Your first activity is to make certain WHO those rates are and in the event that they're certainly yours. 2nd, your credit card assertion won't in any respect have your actual credit card variety on it. Are you kidding? in line with probability in the 50s by 80s that they had the variety on there... yet no longer those days. human beings scouse borrow mail, and picture they could have at their fingertips your data. (of direction, they does not have the three variety code on the returned, yet.. i'm specific they could make certain a manner around that!) So, the fact that the variety on your assertion isn't your actual credit card variety isn't a reason for problem. call your credit card organization and inquire with regard to the expenses. You do comprehend nevertheless, which you in trouble-free terms have like 6 mos to make a dispute on the subject of a value. in case you have enable this decide for months and it is not something you ordered, you would be caught procuring some months of rates. additionally, did you ever deliver away, call or enter your credit card data for a *trial subscription* to a minimum of something? in case you probably did this, they many times will grow to be habitual subscriptions which would be billed on your card on the comparable date month-to-month. I doubt absolutely everyone stole your # and card data. i think of plenty greater in all probability you subscribed to a minimum of something and forgot to cancel OR it rather is something you do use month-to-month yet at the instant are not recalling what it rather is via the origination (state) the place the cost is being transacted.
