ABSTRACT:
An anti-fraud apparatus and a method for recognizing authentic credit cards compares the first six numerals of a credit card number located on a front face thereof (the first six numerals are issued in conformity with coding rules and represent an issuing bank and a grade of the credit card) and the first six small numerals located in a horizontal direction at an upper left portion of a logo on the credit card. The anti-fraud apparatus includes a casing having a pocket for insertion of the credit card and a viewing face corresponding to the pocket. At least a viewing window is disposed on the viewing face and faces an upper left portion of the logo for clearly displaying numerals on the upper left portion. Therefore, cashing operators can accurately and rapidly verify authenticity of the credit card.
