Fighting Fraud Abroad
MasterCard is helping law enforcement in the Asia/Pacific area of the world fight payment card fraud by providing an educational and investigation tool designed to teach new officers about such fraud and make investigators jobs easier and more efficient.
The MasterCard Law Enforcement Tool Kit is a briefcase which has software that enables fast capture of compromised account data on recovered cards. The software captures the magnetic and embossed details of the cards, records brief facts about a case and details provided by the officer in charge, and reports back to MasterCard's Security & Risk Management Fraud Alert Center. The software enables law enforcement to record data quickly and consistently at the scene of crime.
The case also has "A Guide to Payment Card Fraud for Law Enforcement," a comprehensive overview of the payments industry for new law enforcement staff. The guide contains information on the prevention and combating of card fraud, including information on card security features, fraud trends, and new technologies.
The guide is available in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
