As such, a CyberSource spokesman commented: "Online fraud is a fact of life in almost every business in the world."

He added that it is a "predictable problem" in any environment in which a card-not-present transaction has to occur.

Meanwhile, despite more consumers turning to ecommerce in order to find credit crunch bargains, a recent study conducted by Shop.org found that 54 per cent of online vendors are expecting a slowdown in growth over the forthcoming year.
