Mail Non Receipt Card Fraud

This type of fraud involves your card being stolen in transit once it has been posted to you by your bank or building society.  Properties with communal letterboxes such as flats or student halls of residence are at particular risk.

Advice

• Check your statements on receipt and be aware of the expiry date so you know when a new card is due to arrive
• Notify your card company of any change of address
• Keep track of your billing cycle – if your statement doesn’t arrive when expected, contact your credit card company
• Arrange for mail suspension when you go on holiday or arrange for someone you trust to take care of it
