Duplicate cards are illegal replicas of real authorised cloned credit cards uk that can then be used to make fraudulent purchases.

Cards can feature the true cardholder’s name. Sometimes, duplicated with real card details but a fraudulent name that matches other forms of ID held by the counterfeiter.

Duplication often follows another form of credit card fraud; card cloning or card skimming. Here, details of a real credit card are obtained using a device attached to an ATM or card payment machine. This device scans the magnetic strip during a genuine transaction.

Cloned credit cards are widely used in the Uk and works in all ATMS in the UK.

Alternatively today, fraudsters may obtain a batch of cloned credit cards in the UK. They get the details by buying them from criminal groups online. These can then be used to create realistic duplicate credit cards with real people’s names on them.
