An example of card payment fraud is: ”I’ve made a payment over the phone or online to a business. They might have wrote my card details down or it might be recorded on the phone line and they might have had a data breach. From that, my card details have now been stolen. Hackers can use your card to fake illegitimate purchases on the phone or online again with your card details. I know that I’ve not made that payment, so what I can do is I can go to my bank and say that wasn’t me and I can claim that money back, which is called a chargeback.”
However, chargeback fraud, for example, is ”I’ve made a purchase to a company but I know that I don’t want to pay for those goods. What I’ve done is I’ve had my delivery, I now have my goods or I’ve used the service from that business, but I decide that I want my money back. I can go to my bank and say I never made that payment, even though I did, and get my money back that way.”
This is a massive issue for businesses these days as they’ve lost out on the money that I’ve paid but also the goods that they’ve already sent out.
