How to Protect Yourself from Credit Card Fraud

📅Feb 16 2025

With credit card fraud on the rise, it’s more important than ever to stay smart and cautious when shopping online. Recently, we have noticed that some customers experienced credit card information leaks after purchasing from other keyboard vendors. We believe this is due to issues with outdated payment interfaces or website security, rather than a purpose leak by the vendor. Although MonsGeek has not encountered such incidents, we consider secure shopping important. That’s why we’ve prepared a detailed tutorial to guide you in better protecting your credit card information. Moreover, we continuously enhance our website’s security checks and update our payment interfaces to the latest standards.

To safeguard your card information, consider these strategies:

1. Use Secure Payment Methods

Opt for trusted payment platforms such as PayPal or Tap to Pay, which add an extra layer of security by not exposing your credit card details directly to merchants.

2. Privacy Pricing & Virtual Cards

Utilize services like Privacy.com or bank-issued virtual cards to limit spending and prevent fraud. These one-time or limited-use cards protect your real card information from unauthorized charges.

3. Be Cautious with Personal Information

Only provide the necessary details during transactions and ensure the websites you use are secure—look for a lock symbol and “https” in the URL.

4. Monitor Your Accounts Regularly

Check your bank and credit card statements frequently. Set up fraud alerts so you are notified immediately if any suspicious activity occurs. Early detection is key to mitigating potential issues.

5. Chargeback Protection

If you notice unauthorized transactions or fall victim to fraud, contact your credit card provider to file a chargeback. This process allows you to dispute the charge and possibly get a refund. Keep thorough records of your transactions and promptly communicate with your bank if you detect any irregularities.

At MonsGeek, we are committed to safeguarding your security. Our stringent internal protocols ensure that sensitive information, including order details, is accessible exclusively to authorized personnel within the sales team. By maintaining strict departmental separation, we significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.
