There are several ways to catch fraudulent transactions that can lead to negative consequences both for a merchant and a bank. Timely detected fraud activity can save merchant's business from financial losses.
Merchant should be alarmed if:
- Customer's email address or domain is suspicious;
- Customer's IP address and credit card address mismatch;
- Customer's transaction IP is from the risky country;
- Shipping address is from the risky country;
- Customer is using a proxy;
- Customer tries to make a purchase with several credit cards in a short period of time;
- Many failed transactions in a short period of time;
- Customer tries to purchase an unusually large order;
- Customer uses fake information (fake name, phone number, email etc.)
Fraudster behaviour can be even more complicated, so sometimes it becomes difficult to control fraud activity.
