Those currently experiencing credit card charges may be pleased to hear that consumers across the UK are helping to reduce card fraud.Recent research by ACI Worldwide found that 50 per cent of consumers consider card crime as biggest fraud threat.Commenting on these findings was Mark Bowerman, spokesman for Financial Fraud Action UK, the name under which the financial services industry co-ordinates its activity on fraud, presenting a united front against financial fraud and its effects.Mr Bowerman said: "The reason that the figures have decreased is because everyone is doing their bit."There's banking initiatives in place that are obviously having an effect, retailers are doing what they can and there are things that card holders can do themselves because they are their own frontline of defence."He claims there are a number of ways consumers can help protect themselves from credit card fraud.This includes keeping your PIN a secret and shielding the keypad when at a cash machine or in a shop.John FieldmanHaving worked in the city for 19 years, John's main focus is interest rates and corporate finance.
