Fraud Prevention Project Group Security on Gift Cards Graham Sellors Andrew Johnson
Fraud Prevention Project Group Gift Card Fraud • Like vouchers, issues with stolen credit cards used to purchase gift cards • Press before Christmas due to Corsaire White Paper, stating mag stripes on gift cards are easy to copy • Corsaire is a security consultancy specialising in mag stripe fraud – just a PR stunt • Group working with Gift Card Processors to formulate best practice for gift card processing
Fraud Prevention Project Group eBay & Reselling Gift Cards Graham Sellors Caroline Watson Andrew Johnson
Fraud Prevention Project Group eBay – reselling • Customers are buying ‘second hand’ gift vouchers and cards eBay. • These may have been obtained fraudulently or the gift cards may have no value • Damaging to the industry • eBay wont do anything to stop this happening • Can we stop eBay selling gift cards and vouchers? • Written a buyers guide to be placed on eBay • Hints placed that buyer may end up with nothing • What else can Issuers do?
Fraud Prevention Project Group eBay – play their game • In the USA, emergence of several ‘resellers’ of gift cards via internet sites • Examples include Plastic Jungle
eBay – play their game Fraud Prevention Project Group • Exchange unwanted gift card for cash or one you want • Donate the card you don't want to charity • All above board and legitimate • Big retailers in USA all participate
Fraud Prevention Project Group Solution • Plastic Jungle are already looking at the UK • Should the Association be proactive in this sector • Do a deal so the Association ‘owns’ the concept in the UK • Association sets the rules and has some control • May even make small revenue

Regulation Group Objectives • Legislation in all aspects of the value chain • Current focus on two areas which are going through changes the European Union: • Emoney Directive • Harmonisation of VAT on Vouchers
Emoney Directive Siobhan Moore
Where we are • Formulated a simpler table to assist in defining Emoney products • Attended 2 meetings with HM Treasury to ‘present our case’ • Treasury have met with European counterparts and used our table as part of their presentation
Current e-money definition Monetary value, as represented by a claim on the issuer, which is: Stored on an electronic device Issued on receipt of funds of an amount not less in value than the monetary value issued Accepted as a means of payment by undertakings other than the issuer
New e-money directive Effective April 2011 • Any electronically, including magnetically, stored monetary value as represented by a claim on the issuer which is: • Issued on receipt of funds for the prupose of making payment transactions • Which is accepted by a natural or legal person other than the issuer
Next Steps • Continuing to liaise with Treasury • Expect legislation to be in place by April 2011 • Expect to get confirmed timetable by January 2011
