Purchase Fraud

What Is Purchase Fraud?

Purchase fraud is a deceptive practice where fraudsters exploit payment systems to make illegitimate purchases. This can involve stolen credit card details, fake identities, or abuse of refund policies, leading to financial losses and reputational damage for businesses.

Common Types

1. Stolen Payment Data – Fraudsters use compromised credit cards or hacked accounts (e.g., Apple Pay, PayPal) to make unauthorized purchases.
2. Friendly Fraud – Legitimate customers falsely claim refunds (e.g., “item not received”) after receiving goods.
3. Policy Abuse – Exploiting return policies (e.g., “wardrobing,” where used items are returned).
4. Fake Purchases – Bots or scripts simulate transactions to inflate sales or trigger rewards.
