This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Credit Card Scams and How to Avoid Them

Credit card scams are on the rise, and according to research, the US and Canadian citizens are more likely to be a victim of this crime than those of any other country in the world, with billions lost annually to crooks and fraudsters.

Both individuals and businesses can be at risk of credit card scams, which are now recognized as the most common form of identity fraud – there were half a million cases in the US last year alone. Fortunately, you can take several simple steps to avoid getting caught up in a con – here’s what you need to know.

**Only Buy From Trusted Websites**

One of the most common ways that scammers get hold of victims’ credit card details is via cloned or fake websites. These sites may appear totally legit and could even masquerade as a well-known brand’s website but have, in fact, been set up by crooks purely to harvest unsuspecting visitors’ card details.

Avoid this by only buying from trusted sites. To do this, start by looking at the website’s address bar to ensure it’s that of the business you think it is. Scammers deploy tricks such as replacing the odd letter with a special character (such as a $ for an S) so that, at first glance, the website address seems legit.

Also, ensure that the address starts with ‘HTTPS’ rather than just ‘HTTP’ – this indicates that it’s secure and mechanisms are in place to protect your payment and personal details.

**Use Secure Payment Processing Systems**

How you process customers’ card transactions is crucial for businesses to avoid clients’ details falling into the wrong hands.

Ensure your merchant service provider offers the highest levels of security possible – some are specifically designed for what is considered ‘high-risk’ industries. It’s also vital to ensure that any physical copies of receipts your business holds are kept securely. This means keeping them locked away, ideally in a safe, where they can’t be easily accessed.

**Check Your Statements Regularly**

A low-tech but extremely effective way to guard against credit card scams is to check your card statements regularly: ideally, once or twice a fortnight.

Many scammers, having gotten hold of your card details, will siphon off very small amounts of money initially, so you’re unlikely to notice. After a while, they may use your card details to make an expensive purchase, potentially clearing out your available funds.

Go through your statements with a fine tooth comb, looking for anything unusual or a payment to a business or individual you don’t recognize. If you spot something suspicious, get in touch with your bank or card issuers immediately to let them know what’s happened.

**Protecting Your Card**

Scammers don’t just operate in the digital world: it’s important to take steps to ensure the safety of your physical card.

Crooks now have access to devices that can potentially harvest your card details even when it’s safely tucked away in your wallet or a pocket – the scammers simply need to be physically close to you – which can be surreptitiously done while waiting in line to pay, for example, or walking around a busy store.

Now cardholders on the market will block out attempts to read these details – an easy, cost-effective way to guard against fraudsters. Alternatively, although unconfirmed, some suggest wrapping a card in aluminum foil will also have the same protective effect.

**Keep Your Devices Secure**

Another way scammers can access your credit card is via the devices you use. To prevent being hacked, ensure you not only deploy high-quality virus and malware protection but also update it regularly.

Avoid, too, using public Wifi connections, especially to make purchases. These connections are relatively easy for hackers and snoopers to access, allowing them to get hold of your card and personal details.

Consider using a VPN (a virtual private network) to connect to the internet, which provides a much more secure way to be online and makes even connecting via public Wifi safe.

A VPN works by protecting your device’s IP address and encrypting all internet traffic – even in the unlikely event that a hacker gains access to your data, they won’t be able to interpret it.

**Stay Safe from Phishing Attacks**

Phishing attacks are on the rise and are a common way that con artists commit credit card fraud. Typically, an email is sent to an unsuspecting recipient, often appearing to be from a legit business or brand or possibly from the recipient’s bank. However, when the victim clicks on the link and enters the requested details, they’re actually giving their information to a scammer.

Always be on guard for phishing emails: never click on a link unless you are absolutely sure the message is from who it says it is. Poor spelling, grammar, or layout is a major red flag of a phishing scam, as is an incorrect ‘from’ address. To check the latter, simply hover the mouse over the sender’s name, and see if this matches the company that the message purports to be from.

**Staying Safe from Scams**

Around 10% of the adult population in the US falls victim to credit card scams every year – avoid being part of this statistic by taking the relevant steps outlined above to stay safe and secure from fraudsters.

Possibilité de relier à MailChimp en version Pro. Vraiment très simple à utiliser et paramétrer.

I went thru all free pop-up plugins out there and everyone of them was really bad - hard to configure, not responsive or just ugly. Pop-up CC is easy to setup and looks awesome. Premium version has more options, but free is still very good - you can use all the templates etc. I had and issue tho with plugin not sending notifications about new subscribers so wrote about it to the creators and they responded very fast, helping me fix it. It works as intended now. Thanks!

Great plugin design and functionality. I had some difficulty setting it up - based on a lack of developer knowledge, but their support team were fantastic and responded to my query within hours. They went above ad beyond to get me set up and now I'm on my way there's no looking back. Can't recommend highly enough - keep up the great work.

Good and quite simple to use. Poor documentation, you have to try to understand some option.

CVE-2022-41638: Pop-Up Chop Chop

Auth. (admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Fatcat Apps Analytics Cat plugin <= 1.0.9 on WordPress.

*   Details
*   Reviews
*   Installation
*   Support
*   Development

Analytics Cat – Google Analytics is a lean, fast, simple, no-frills way to add your Google Analytics / Universal Google Analytics code to your WordPress site.

This bloat-free, simple Google Analytics WordPress plugin doesn’t add tons of features. Instead, Analytics Cat – Google Analytics simply focuses on letting you add your Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) Code to your site in less than 2 minutes, without slowing your site down.

**Which features does Analytics Cat – Google Analytics have?**

*   Add the Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) tracking code to your WordPress site with ease.
*   Hide your Google Analytics tracking code from logged-in users so you don’t pollute your data.

**How to use Analytics Cat – Google Analytics?**

There are multiple ways to add the Google Analytics tracking code to your WordPress site.

**1\. Pasting your Google Analytics script into your theme**  
This approach isn’t great for two reasons:  
a) If you edit your live site and make a mistake when pasting your Google Analytics script into your theme, you could take down your website.  
b) If your theme is updated with new features or security fixes, your Google Analytics code will be overwritten.

**2\. Pasting your Google Analytics script into a header/footer script plugin**  
This is a valid approach, but has some disadvantages. General purposes “header script plugins” aren’t built from the ground-up to support Google Analytics.

What this means is that :  
a) These plugins lack Google Analytics-specific functionality.  
b) These plugins will not adapt if Google Analytics changes again. Since Analytics Cat is a dedicated Google Analytics WordPress plugin, we’ll make sure make sure to stay compatible with future changes to Google Analytics.  
c) These plugins usually don’t support hiding your Google Analytics code from logged-in users.

**3\. Using Some Other Google Analytics WordPress Plugin**  
There are some good Google Analytics plugins out there, but many of them are bloated, have too many settings and are slow.

You’ll love Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Cat iff what you want is a simple, reliable Google Analytics plugin,

**Does Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Plugin work with Universal Analytics?**

Yes. Analytics Cat is built from the ground up to support Universal Analytics.

Analytics Cat – Google Analytics does not work with the old Google Analytics script that Google deprecated.

**Can I hide my Google Analytics tracking code from logged in users?**

Yes. You can hide your Google Analytics code from logged in users by going to Settings -> Google Analytics Manager.

**Is Analytics Cat – Google Analytics easy to translate?**

Yes. Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Cat is fully translateable. Please let us know if you’re interested in contributing.

**Analytics Cat – Google Analytics Feature Roadmap**

This is just the first version of Analytics Cat – we have tons of new features & improvements lined up. Do you have any suggestions? Please leave a comment in the support forums.

    function my_custom_ga_attributes ( $value ) {
        return '&aip=1';
    }
    
    add_filter( 'fca_ga_attributes', 'my_custom_ga_attributes' );

This plugin works well and does what it's supposed to do without issues.

Does what it says. Simple and easy to setup.

No extra fluff makes me tear up in joy. Thank you for staying true to the description and point. 👏

I have used this plugin to get input/insights for my ActiveCampaign marketing tool. It does exactly what it says it does, reliably.

It works really well but I deducted a star because I have started getting spam after installing it. Prior to this I was receiving none and this is the only plugin I have installed in the last three months.
