Easy prey for credit card fraudsters
Credit card fraud is one of the hazards of everyday life today, but it is still alarming to learn that Belfast is one of the UK's top five cities for this kind of crime.
In a survey, more than one in four people (28.5%) confessed to having been victims, which put the city in fourth place, just above London and well behind the capital of fraud, Birmingham (34%).
Perhaps the Belfast figure should not be so surprising, since another survey last year showed that almost half of card users in Northern Ireland let their bank or credit cards out of their sight when out in public.
