Problems with Credit Card Fraud Investigation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the problem of credit card fraud. As you know, the emergence of bank cards and the possibility of using them using smartphones, smartwatches and other gadgets have simplified the process of buying and transferring funds between the buyer and the seller. However, their use also made their savings vulnerable to fraudsters. Thus, the emergence of new methods of fraud required timely and adequate legislative initiative. In particular, the timely response of the legislator was the introduction of article (159.1-159.6) specifying fraud in criminal law. The tasks of the study are to analyze the problems of investigating crimes of bank card fraud. This is due to the fact that such a phenomenon appeared relatively recently, and all methods of committing crimes have not yet been studied in order to develop methods to suppress the activities of fraudsters. Of course, all this poses to law enforcement officers the difficult task of identifying and investigating such crimes. And here an important skill for them is the ability to analyze the actions of fraudsters. And for this, they must have the necessary arsenal of knowledge that will help in a deep analysis of the actions of the fraudster, drawing up his psychological portrait, understanding exactly how the offender managed to seize the data of the map in order to prevent the commission of such crimes in the future. Conclusions: we have established that the problem of card fraud is very relevant today. There are a great many methods of fraud that law enforcement is not yet aware of. That is why it is necessary to find methods to counter fraudsters as soon as possible, since the scale of crimes can go beyond reasonable.
