Credit card fraud is on the rise!

In the fight against chargebacks due to fraud, business owners like yourselves need to know some tips to prevent credit card fraud online. With the rise in identity theft, it's more important than ever to protect your business, your inventory, your account from fraudsters looking for a free buy at your loss.

Protection for business owners 

I've researched this topic because it's something that should be dealt with. And I'm rather disappointed at the lack of information on how businesses can protect themselves. I hear a lot of information for consumers on how they can protect themselves and credit card companies all support the individual. But for business owners, merchant companies hold you fully responsible when it comes to online fraud.

3 tips to prevent credit card fraud online 

That is one of the costs of doing business, but I think business owners should still have some help too. Here are some tips that may be helpful to you in catching fraud before it happens.

1. Watch for different "bill to" and "ship to" addresses. You can have the customer send a signed authorization for a particular "ship to" address.

2. Be careful of those random email messages saying that they want to place an order and then asking you for personal information.

3. Be alert for any differences in how the transaction goes versus your usual transactions.
