Newest Refund Fraud Method Targeting Retailers

Published on: 13th April, 2022

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

Refund fraud continues to be responsible for more than 3x the average enterprise merchant's chargeback losses, and is growing at a rapid pace. In this episode, Karisse:

  • Provides an overview on why refund fraud is so "easy" to commit, especially for newer fraudsters and GenZ-ers who enjoy gaming the system
  • Gives a high-level overview of refund fraud in general, and why pre-transaction monitoring or "policy abuse" products is not capable of preventing these losses
  • Highlights the latest refund fraud method top retailers are experiencing and why it's a difficult challenge for merchants to solve, but not impossible.

If you are interested in joining the waitlist for an upcoming merchant-only workshop on refund fraud, or in requesting more information on a private training session for your team, you can email Karisse @ chargelyticsconsulting .com with "refund fraud workshop" in the subject line.

Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

About the Podcast

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick
Join Fraud Fighter Karisse Hendrick twice a week for deep dive interviews and weekly fraud news.
If you work in online fraud prevention, chances are you've caught the "bug". The bug that makes you passionate about identifying & preventing cybercriminals from getting away with stealing from your company, or your client's companies. Most people who have made cyber-fraud their career have the perfect balance of analytical and social skills, a strong sense of justice and the curiosity that will drive you to go down every path of information until you "crack the case".

Just like sociology is the study of social behavior, and psychology is the study of human behavior, Fraudology is the science and study of fraud.

On the Fraudology podcast, long-time online fraud expert, Karisse Hendrick will dive into all areas of Fraudology from the perspective of a fraud-fighter. With guests ranging from former cybercriminals to fraud-fighters at Fortune 500 companies to law enforcement and others, you will no doubt be entertained, while learning a lot about fraud & other forms of abuse prevention!
