Countering Merchant Fraud with Advanced System by Covery
Public Group active 2 years, 6 months agoMerchant fraud is the most common risk associated with online trading. Making a purchase decision, a customer does not have the opportunity to see a retailer or product acquired. That is why buyers can mistake false traders for real. This situation leaves room for different types of fraud.
Moreover, a scam undermines the trust of customers in real merchants. With the development of e-commerce, merchant fraud began to be a large-scale problem. It leads to the loss of value and deformation of commercial systems and their legal instruments. That is why the struggle with merchant fraud became a common task for numerous groups of interest.
Most Common Types of Merchant Fraud
falsification of identity in order to get a false merchant account
processing fraudulent transactions or obtaining lines of credit for quick enrichment
stealing card owner data to make fraudulent purchases
transaction laundering for processing payments received by a scam. For these purposes, fraudsters use legitimized merchant’s payment credentials
manipulations with websites of real merchants and the creation of twin websites, etc.
In order to counteract all these types of merchant fraud, a wide array of tools has been elaborated. Among them are such as:
introduction of a system capable of detecting anomalies in merchant operations
two-factor authorization for both sellers and buyers
a risk-free purchase program that “holds” the money of a buyer until the item will be received and checked
protection of the transfer of data between the client’s browser and the site, etc.
But the first step of fraud prevention is a thorough study and analysis of fraud and money laundering schemes. Solving such a task alone is beyond the power of any trading business. Achieving this goal requires deep experience and a large database of all kinds of fraud cases.
