Credit Cards

If you lose or have had your credit card stolen, you should immediately report it to your card issuer. Once you report the incident, you are no longer responsible for unauthorized charges made on your card.

In the U.S., credit card fraud can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and to local and regional authorities. It is the standing policy of the FTC not to investigate reports where the value of fraud does not exceed $2000. Local law enforcement may or may not further investigate a credit card fraud, depending on the amount, type of fraud, and where the fraud originated from.

If you are a merchant and you suspect orders have been placed for your products/services using stolen credit card information you will need to contact VISA/MC/AMEX/DISCOVER to obtain the issuing bank's phone number then call the bank to report that you suspect that their customer's credit card information has been stolen.
