"BBC TV's Money Programme has investigated the growing problem of
internet fraud - its disturbing findings should make every shopper
think twice before punching their credit card details online. Visa
International says that half of all credit-card disputes are about
internet transactions. That is despite online transactions making up
just 2% of Visa's overall business. Money is increasingly frequently
being wrongly charged to people's credit-card accounts thanks to the
internet."
