Fraud Awareness
In recent weeks we have seen increased of fraud attempts. The main fraud attempt we are seeing is that they are purchasing high priced items online and then calling trying to get us to refund the order to another credit card.
Key things to look for when a customers asking for a refund:
- Is the refund amount over $1000
- Common products they are buying is 3-day performance rentals and other high priced website items
- The person calling is a man, but the order in a women’s name
- Phone number area code is outside of the US, when the billing address is in the US. This 673 area is from Brunei Asia, and the bill addresses in NJ
- Most all have mail.com email addresses
- Multiple Random names in relationship profile
- Order 21521343 is an example of confirmed attempted fraud
These are commons things we are seeing in these fraud attempts. If you come across any of these things and have any doubt please reach out to a supervisor or manager.
