Britain exposed as Europe's card fraud capital

Britain has emerged as the card fraud capital of Europe, according to a report published today. Almost 20% of the adult population, equivalent to more than seven million people, have fallen victim to card fraud, research from the European Security Transport Association (Esta) showed.

According to the report, British adults are almost twice as much at risk of being the target of a credit or debit card scam as adults in seven other European countries.
