I’ve always assumed that small payments are made in a few places to see if the card works and to see what chance there is of payments being noticed. Then big purchases will be made after that.

This is what organised crime does with online card fraud.

Food and day travelcards is what you tend to see with opportunistism.

BITD it was tyres. Luton and Peterborough postcodes were notorious for card fraud for some reason.

Thats a good point actually...I haven't done any work in card fraud for at least ten years so I could well be very out of date.

That said, we were identity thefted (!) a few months back and those guys started off by buying low value items before going for the big one.
