NCCC and Criminal Investigation Bureau Sign MOU to Speed Removal of Fake Credit Card Websites

Fake credit card websites often impersonate banks, e-commerce platforms or payment services to trick people into entering card numbers, expiration dates and verification codes, which are then used for fraudulent transactions or sold. Such schemes account for about 60% of credit card fraud, prompting the National Credit Card Center of R.O.C. to work with the Criminal Investigation Bureau under the National Police Agency of the Ministry of the Interior. The partnership links financial monitoring with law-enforcement intelligence to reduce the risk to the public.

The National Credit Card Center recently signed an anti-fraud memorandum of understanding with the Criminal Investigation Bureau, establishing a mechanism to accelerate the removal of fake credit card websites. When suspicious URLs are identified, the two sides will immediately share intelligence, issue alerts and coordinate takedowns to disrupt digital fraud at its source. The partnership involves no monetary commitment, and available information does not specify the exact signing date.
