Utah consumers are now being contacted by at least two different businesses claiming to provide credit card fraud protection. In one case the company asks for a payment of about $200 to protect all of the credit cards in your house for a period of 10 years. A second company is asking for a payment of $26 dollars a month to provide similar services. Consumers should be wary of such offers, states. Russ Behrmann, President of the Better Business Bureau of Utah. Some of these solicitors are doing nothing more than trying to get your credit card information so they can do to you what they claim theyre protecting you against. Even those that may provide protection services in the case of loss may be using fear tactics to sell something consumers do not need. Though details of the solicitations have not been provided to t the BBB by the companies in question, a BBB investigator was told that one offer was good for any loss for any amount no matter how large. When asked if that meant this was some form of insurance police, (which would subject the business to strict government regulation) the phone operator answered, no this isnt insurance, its more like just protection. In one case a caller to the BBB of Utah said that the solicitor claimed they were an approved service of the Better Business Bureau. Behrmann states any such claim is a misrepresentation. We dont approve or endorse any product or business. Though protection against credit card related fraud may be helpful for some consumers, the BBB urges caution, including the following steps before making a purchasing decision: 1) Check with the financial institution that issued their credit card to determine what protections against credit card Jest 2 Booked into Kane County Jail.
