Dummy Credit Cards

Anybody who is on-line a lot gets a lot of 'phishing' e-mails, trying to get details of your bank account or credit card details. Perhaps, it is time to start fighting back.

Why can't a selected group of us be issued with dummy credit card and bank account details that we can use accordingly? Obviously, these could be genuine accounts, but accounts that would never pay any money. But if anybody ever tried to use them, there would be a proper audit trail back to the fraudsters.

Interestingly, it would probably start rows between the fraudsters and the bent retailers they use to process the cards!
