There are a number of suspicious behaviours which can help highlight a potentially fraudulent act by a customer using a credit card. Knowing what to look for is important.
Watch out for large orders placed without regard to size, colour, style or price of stock.
A first-time customer who makes a very large order and wants it shipped overnight should be treated with caution.
Be wary of customers who always use free e-mail accounts as their reply e-mail addresses.
If you get a number of orders on the same day from the same customer for large quantities of products it is best to make sure it is not someone using someone else’s credit card.
Research has also shown that stores that sell computer equipment, stereos and televisions are the most likely targets for credit card fraud as the goods can easily be resold.
