MerchantsAmong the questionable and risky type of transactions of online merchants are high volume orders from customers that do not ask for a discount, multiple orders of the same product, purchase of “big-ticket” items, and overnight or rushed delivery. These are classic characteristics of fraudulent transactions as they are not the typical purchasing pattern of a legitimate customer. A legitimate customer when buying high volume of goods would ask for a discount. While overnight and rushed shipping are often used to receive the stolen goods as soon as possible. Studies also demonstrate that international orders is more likely to be fraudulent than a domestic order.
