You didn't go into detail when mentioning fraud, so it is kind of hard to 
address this totally.
So here are some thoughts and some things to put into perspective.
Anytime you use a credit card, be it in person or online, you run a risk 
of your credit card being exploited.  Sure, your card info can be stolen 
in an internet transaction; but what is to prevent a store clerk or a 
restaurant cashier (or a bystander) to misappropriate your info.
When dealing with shopping online, deal with entities you know or 
recotgnize; or others you trust doing the same.
When possible, use Paypal as you don't have to give out your billing info.
Same goes with Amazon where your info is saved in your online account and 
Hopefully, that is good for starters.  Others hopefully will chime in; and 
if you share some specific concerns or situations you have, perhaps 
someone can address it.




It may be that Satan is planning some fresh temptation with which to assail
you; but, though he desires to sift you as wheat, Christ is praying for
you, that your faith fail not.
 Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), in his sermon, "The Tenses"
