The first step towards preventing fraud is knowing what to look for. Even as criminals’ tactics evolve, there are a few key indicators that remain telltale signs of fraud. Red flags to watch for include:
Did a customer create a new or temporary email address to make a purchase? This may be a sign that the buyer is planning to commit fraud and then disappear.
Fraudsters want to get the most value out of their efforts. To do this, they often buy high-value goods that they can easily flip and turn into liquid cash.
When fraudsters gain access to valid account information, they often submit multiple transactions in quick succession to maximize profits before being discovered.
Fraudsters tend to pick the fastest shipping option. They want the goods to arrive before they’re intercepted. They don’t mind paying extra. After all, it’s not their money.
Again, fraudsters look for opportunities to maximize their efforts. They might pick a model of TV or other item and order as many as possible before maxing out the account.
The shipping address used by a fraudster will not match the billing address kept on file with the bank or that you have listed in previous transaction records.
