Credit/debit-card fraud: still no end in sight!



Credit/debit-card fraud seems to be a determined problem.
However certain protections, such as Pin codes, have diminished the fraud, criminals are getting more creative by focusing their energy on new methods. The most popular way nowadays: the fraudsters direct unaware consumers to fake cash machines, once the victim has inserted his card the machine makes an exact copy of it.
Another booming method of credit/debit-card fraud is the internet: by sending false emails fraudsters try to obtain consumers’ card details.

Credit/debit-card fraud seems to be a determined [strange choice of adjective] problem.
However certain protections [However indicates contrast and starts a separate sentence; here use 'although'], such as Pin codes, have diminished the fraud, criminals are getting more creative by focusing their energy on new methods. The most popular way nowadays: the fraudsters direct unaware consumers to fake cash machines, once the victim has inserted his card the machine makes an exact copy of it.
Another booming method of credit/debit-card fraud is the internet: by sending false emails fraudsters try to obtain consumers’ card details.

Clear focus and good flow, but mind the choice of words and the difference between although and however
