According to APCA for the financial year 2013-14 over $344 million was the total of the credit card fraud on Australian issued cards,
this is money that we as card holders are covering, and I would be willing to bet that it is only getting worse not better.
 
it ain't all bad..
i got my card swallowed by the bank in spain in the 80s cos i were apparently drunk and couldn't do my own pin number. i went down there the next morning and they had already scissored my card. i were really pissed off, but i had to get a new card from australia. in the meantime (about 2 weeks) i lived on the street cos i literally had zip. then 3 dutch and danish backpacking girls smuggled me into the ymca toledo (which is in a real castle, if you've ever been there). so i had to sleep with them night after night in single bed dorm bed things. i had to take turns cos it were uncomfortable, 2 in a single bunk. i hate credit card fraud.
