Florida Leads The Nation In Credit Card Fraud

The numbers don’t lie. Florida is the credit card fraud capital of the nation based on the number of complaints to the Federal Trade Commission. The agency received the most credit card fraud complaints from Florida in 2015. As you have traded cash for plastic, you’ve also put your personal information at risk. Consumer research site, Value Penguin, ranked the states and territories. Florida came in 51st. Value Penguin reports that the number of complaints has risen in the state by 130 percent since 2011. Part of that could be because of skimmers, cyber hackers and other financial fraudsters.
