USA Today: Victim of fraud? Protections are different for debit, credit cards.

Since consumer fraud protections aren’t as strong for debit cards, and there are specific, shorter time frames that banks have to resolve an unauthorized debit card transaction, “it’s much more common to hear stories of folks that have problems trying to get (unauthorized charges) resolved when it’s a debit card versus when it’s a credit card.”
