Using credit cards generally refers to using counterfeit or invalid credit cards or fraudulently using other people’s credit cards or malicious overdrafts to conduct fraudulent activities. The crime of credit card fraud is a type of fraud crime. The relationship between this crime and the crime of fraud is special law and general law. In this crime, credit card is a criminal tool, not a crime object. If a perpetrator uses credit cards as a criminal tool to carry out fraudulent activities, he will be convicted and punished for this crime in accordance with the principle that special laws are superior to general laws. Therefore, the crime of credit card fraud, in short, is the criminal activity of fraud committed by using the credit reflected in the credit card.
