Using a credit card is a leap of faith for many consumers. We swipe, we trust and we hope our financial info is safe. But don't tell this same tale of naivety to Sony PlayStation 3 users, who had their credit card details compromised in the worst way last month. According to the New York Times, hackers swiped millions of credit card numbers from the PS3's servers, aiming to sell the list to fellow crooks for upwards of $100,000.
Unconventional crime? Surely. The high-tech PS3 ambush isn't your average purse snatch, but even the wildest, most inventive cons can be prevented. With help from Michael D'Sa, a security expert with Visa Canada, MSN counts down some of today's craziest credit card scams and how you can prevent yourself from becoming a victim.
