If youre scanning your credit card statement for fraud, youre probably looking for $3,000 at Best Buy or mysterious charges for first class tickets on Air Ethiopia. But THIS fraud probably would never catch your eye. According to the Better Business Bureau, you NEED to scan your statement and see if youve been charged . . . for exactly $9.84. Apparently a giant network of scammers around the world has been making those small charges on TONS of peoples credit cards. They figured it was easier to avoid being noticed stealing $10 from one million people, than $1 million from 10 people. The $9.84 charge will look like its from a generic company . . . you wouldnt recognize the name, so youd probably just think it was a restaurant or something if you were glancing over your statement. If you DO have a random $9.84 charge on your card, call your credit card company immediately, report it, and get a new card.
