Payment cards remain a very popular payment method and therefore a target for criminals. Debit and credit cards skimming still represents a major threat. Card-present and card-not-present fraud is widely spread with forged cards and compromised credit card details being used to commit high volume crime, with tens of thousands of victims.

To respond effectively to these threats, co-operation is crucial between the law enforcement agencies and the industry through enhanced information sharing and public/private partnerships.

In this respect, the iPROCEEDS Project organised a two days’ workshop in Podgorica, Montenegro on online financial fraud and credit card fraud.

The workshop aimed through an increased knowledge of different trends and typologies of online financial fraud and credit card fraud to contribute to strengthening the capacity of the criminal justice authorities to search seize and confiscate online crime proceeds generated by such criminal activities.

Representatives of the Cybercrime Units, Financial Investigation Units, Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), Prosecutor’s Office, judiciary, as well as the private sector from Montenegro and Kosovo* took part in the workshop.
