Most crime committed by criminals, shock claim.

[davywavy]

I'm astonished to read in the Guardian that 75% of credit card fraud is committed by criminals.

I can only assume the rest is carried out by law abiding citizens.

I'd guess they mean 75% is done as part of 'organised' crime, as opposed to being done on the fly by opportunists (amateur crims ;) ?

That's fairly believable, IMO.

The other option I can think of - that 25% is actually due to sheer incompetance & ineptitude: i.e. incorrect cards being charged due to numbers getting jumbled, etc - is worrying...
