Online Merchants Fight The Average Shopper

April 16, 2006

Years ago if a customer bought something online and then charged it back saying that they did not order it, many online merchants would let it go because it would be difficult and time consuming to fight. That is no longer the case these days. Online stores are losing million each year because of fraud and are attempting to put a stop to it.

One part of the problem is that it is no longer the thief or scammer sitting in front of a pc with a stolen credit card. It is now the average online shopper who realizes that all they have to do is cancel the order AFTER it’s been shipped or call their credit card company and say they didn’t make the purchase, they will get their money back and keep the product.

These e-stores aren’t putting up with it anymore. Many are hiring companies to help fight fraud, bringing in more technology and even working with credit card companies to cut down on this high tech theft.
