Some common scams people run to get credit card numbers include phishing emails, identity theft, card skimming, and data mining. Phishing emails are false messages sent to try and obtain personal information, such as credit card numbers. Identity theft happens when someone illegally obtains and uses someone else's personal information, such as a name and Social Security number, to apply for a loan or credit card. Card skimming is when a device is inserted into an ATM or gas pump card reader in order to retrieve and store information from the magnetic strip on the user's card. Lastly, data mining occurs when a malicious hacker collects large sets of personal information to be sold for their own gain.
