Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Making frequent online purchases increases the risk of identity theft as personal information can be stolen during the transaction process. It is important to use secure websites and monitor credit card statements regularly to prevent unauthorized purchases. Loaning out credit cards and not using them for extended periods of time can also increase the risk of fraudulent activity. Being approved for a new credit card does not necessarily increase the likelihood of fraud.
