Plastic card fraud: a matter of intelligence

Abstract

This paper considers plastic fraud and, in particular, the fraudulent production of imitations and ‘white’ plastics. Countermeasures include the controls of card issuers and processors, computer software, and intelligence sharing and gathering. The author concludes the paper with an assessment of the success of countermeasures and the need for Government and the judiciary to grasp the seriousness of the threat posed by plastic card fraud.
