Oh My Fraud

Points Taken


Listen Later

Rewarding customer loyalty is probably as old as commerce. These days, consumers accumulate hundreds, thousands, sometimes even millions of points that can be used to acquire everything from their favorite drink, to airline tickets, or simply pay a balance on a credit card. The fact that these rewards have an intrinsic value is something many easily forget about, making them a great target for fraud.
