What else can I help you with?
Do the merchant lose the money if the customer use stolen credit card?
Yes, assuming the victim discovers the problem and reports it. It's called a "charge back" and if too many are accrued to a merchant, that merchant not only loses all the money that was stolen but will also lose the "merchant account" and not be allowed to take credit cards any longer.
If an account was charged off and removed from your credit report after 7 years can another company buy the account and place it back on your credit report?
No, it is illegal, and if you are a victim of this, you can have it removed from your credit report by disputing it with the bureaus. After the statute of limitations is up on any trade line, it can not be placed back on your credit report.
Why would an LLC charge an unauthorized amount to a debit card?
Because when you dispute the charge with your bank there will be a 50/50 chance you win. This means, the company has a 50% chance of taking your money. Depending on the company and your internet activity you may be a victim of identity theft. I would keep a close watch on all my statements if I were you. Also if you already started your dispute process with the bank I would like to recommend for you to file a consumer complaint with the BBB and Scam Book. Your complaint will raise awareness and allow other victims seek appropriate assistance.
How can an Internet merchant check to be sure a credit card is not stolen?
You should be running an 'AVS' check which means the customer tells you the billing address of the card and you are only supposed to ship to that particular billing address. If the charge is disputed you can demonstrate that in fact you shipped to the proper address, if not you will lose the chargeback and now YOU are the victim of fraud (consumers really have very little to worry about with credit card fraud from what I have seen). Foreign transactions get trickier because many of those systems do not support the Address Verification System. Here is a rule of thumb that I follow, if its Japan, Australia, or any country in the EU I will take the risk. I will never ship to the Third World on a credit card. I don't know why everyone bangs on about AVS which is frankly rubbish. There are systems out there that can tell you how far apart the customer's billing address and IP address are which is much more reliable!
Cleaning Up Your Triple Credit Report?
Up to 25 percent of American consumers who apply for credit each year are denied due to inaccuracies on their credit report. In some cases, job applicants can be denied a new position if the hiring company does a credit report review prior to hiring and discovers an individual has failed to pay back student loans, for instance. In 2004, nearly 35 percent of American companies were verifying the credit histories of potential employees before hiring, according to the Pew Safe Banking Opportunities Project. So before you apply for any type of credit, or apply for a new job, it's a good idea to obtain and clean up your credit report ahead of time. First, it's important to understand that your credit report is actually a triple credit report – it is a credit report obtained from each of three credit agencies: Equifax Experian TransUnion In the United States, these are known as the 'big three' and each share information. Each is available through a toll-free number and can be found using a simple web search. In the United States, each consumer is allowed a free credit report from each of these agencies at least once a year, or anytime you are denied credit, have been the victim of fraud, or are unemployed. To obtain your credit report, you can contact each of the agencies and give them your identifying information and you'll receive your credit report. You can do this by mail, by telephone, or by using an online form; however, it is important to verify that you are actually on the credit reporting site and that you are browsing securely before typing in your personal identifying information as some shadow sites have been used to steal people's identities. Once you've obtained your credit reports, scrutinize them for any misleading or incorrect information. If you discover mistakes in any of your reports, fill out a request for investigation, which can be found on the website of the credit agency or will usually be sent to you with your credit report. Send with the form a detailed explanation of the error, any supporting documents such as statements, receipts, canceled checks, and the like, and include your signature. If you don't have the supporting documentation, it is within your rights to contact the creditor and ask them to send it.

How does info stealer virus work?
An info stealer virus is a type of malware designed to secretly collect sensitive information from a victim's device, such as login credentials, credit card details, or personal data. It typically works by infiltrating the system through malicious links, email attachments, or software downloads, and then covertly sends the stolen data to a remote server controlled by the attacker without the victim's knowledge. The stolen information can then be used for various malicious purposes, such as identity theft or financial fraud.
What type of crime is credit card theft?
For credit card theft normal theft laws apply... but using the stolen credit card will attract financial fraud and/or identity theft legislations...When a credit card is lost or stolen, it remains usable until the holder notifies the issuer that the card is lost. It is therefore very important to report a missing/stolen credit card to the credit provider immediately so that they can block any usage of the credit card and monitor the account if anyone tries to use it they can be traced down.Depending on the nature and amount of the fraud involved, the local agencies may decide if it is worthwhile to pursue investigations or simply let go.There are credit providers who offer insurance protection to cardholders to help them manage credit card fraud risks.Hope this helps!
