Fraud cases

[Peter1982]

Usually we don't worry about fraudulent transactions too much as we don't sell electrical goods so we're not a huge target. However recently we've definitely seen an increase in dodgy transactions. We had a run of them all to addresses in Leicester, we've had a few smaller ones to other locations, and an increase in transactions abroad, Russia Spain and so on.

I wondering if we've been put on some kind of sucker list so we keep getting targeted or is there a general increase in fraud cases.

Hi Peter,

What security systems are you using on your website for protection (i.e. 3D Secure, Anti-Fraud, address verification etc). If you are getting a number of fraudulent transactions from a certain area then you could well be being targeted. I would suggest speaking to your payment provider to see what measures are in place and what could be done to reduce the risk.

They do tend to come in waves and yes, you are probably being targetted.

I read an article yesterday saying that internet fraud is down on the whole by about 13% since last year.

Often (in fact nearly always) get fraud attempts from Essex, usually the Romford postcodes. Just do all the checks you can and if not sure, just cancel the order!

Ilford also appears to be a suspect area for fraud as well...

Hello,

Well I totally agree with "totalwebsolutions". Moreover you can recheck your security system and also it can be a form of SEO poisoning attacks.
