While it's not the first time, it's still rare for a company that promises fraud and/or chargeback prevention to be formally accused of fraud. And the fraud this company is accused of committing is complex and egregious.Relying on her risk experience in the merchant processing world, Karisse explains how payment processors assess risk when reviewing activity on merchant accounts. The rules around what types of companies can and cannot process credit cards, as well as the thresholds set by Visa & MasterCard for chargebacks is exactly what this company set out to game. With the help of an article written by her friend Frank McKenna (of FrankOnFraud.com), and the recently unsealed court documents, Karisse walks listeners through the elaborate scheme that was responsible for processing over $97 million in questionable and fraudulent transactions. Through transaction laundering and shell corporations, this company managed to stay under the radar of multiple payment processors they were lying to for almost 6 years. Until fraud investigators working for one of the merchant processors they defrauded caught on to their scheme and it started to unravel, getting the attention of the US Department of Justice.Through learning about the ins and outs of this case, you'll learn the overarching premise of fraud prevention in the payment processing space, which is not discussed often on Fraudology or other fraud news sources. This case should also serve as a warning to companies that have taken part in similar practices, as the DOJ has been vocal about wanting to set a precedent for this type of fraud.Related Links:Frankonfraud.comArticle: The Fraud Protection Company They Say is Just a Sham:https://frankonfraud.com/fraud-trends/this-fraud-prevention-company-that-was-a-sham/The Federal Complaint Against the founders of CB Surety, Resellers Consultants, KP testing LLC and others:https://frankonfraud.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/cb_surety_complaint.pdfFraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.

Fraudology is presented by Spec. Check out their no-code platform you can implement to start fighting fraud today!In this solo episode of Fraudology, host Karisse Hendrick responds to a recent article written on LinkedIn about the interview episode with Nate Kharrl, CEO of Spec titled "Breaking News: Fraudsters Exploiting 3rd Party Fraud Tools". Karisse always welcomes healthy discussion and new opportunities to learn. -Especially if they're presented in good faith, and accurate. While responding to the article, Karisse starts the episode with a bit of a refresher course on several aspects of the original topic. Including: some of the methods used by fraudsters to exploit some 3rd party fraud tools, the symptoms of these kinds of attacks, the gaps these are caused by on the client & vendor side, and ways to decrease your exposure to exploits.It's true that fraudsters testing thresholds to see what they can get away with is nothing new. But, what IS new (and scary for those impacted!) are the high tech ways this is now occurring AT scale; often without visibility to track their activity. Karisse also delves into some of the vulnerabilities of network consortiums, the importance of reliable data sources, and the risks & limitations of relying solely on device information and/or behavioral data (via Java Script + API) for risk evaluation. She also explains two of the methods most commonly used by bad actors to quickly identify which 3rd party fraud/risk providers that each website relies on. Karisse wraps up the episode with a few suggested questions to ask your 3rd party fraud and/or bot detection provider if you've recently seen declines in their accuracy; along with a few strategies, process changes, and alternative or supplemental technology options for those companies that don't have the luxury to simply replace their current core fraud solution. Bottom line: Fraud & bot detection technology MUST continually innovate since cybercriminals are continually searching for work arounds. Solution providers need to make innovation a part of their on-going business plan as inevitably, some of the methods & technology frequently used to detect bot attempts, risky transactions and/or accounts, won't work as well as they once did. Note: For those solution providers that have been receiving calls or emails from your clients, asking some of the questions that are suggested, it's important to not respond in a defensive way or to place blame elsewhere.

Head to https://forter.com/fraudology and let me know what you snagged!Read the story of how Jenna Posner became Chief Digital Officer at Snipes.Frank McKenna, the expert behind the popular "Frank on Fraud" blog and Chief Fraud Strategist at PointPredictive stops by to discuss a recent report published by Hindenberg research (A short-selling company intent on exposing fraud for corporate gains) that caused quite a few conversations & headlines within the online fraud world last week. While the report brings up some concerning allegations, Karisse & Frank dissect some of the claims to demonstrate that when it comes to casting blame for online fraud, it's not always black & white. Being accused of enabling fake accounts is nothing new in the tech world, especially when user numbers are often the biggest contributor to a company's valuation. But, where's the line between being "under attack" and "enabling fraud"?Cash App's meteoric rise was due to a rapid series of events including the ripple effects of Covid on the underbanked, massive amounts of fraud being stolen from government assistance programs, and the ease & use of Fintech technology vs. traditional banks. Did they ignore any regulations or simply not do what a group of people without fraud knowledge think they should have done? They also talk about how the type of platform Cash App may enable fraud by other companies' standards, but are they fraudulent to Cash App?What becomes clear in this case is that there may not be a clear "right" or "wrong"; and that more than one thing can be true at once. It can be true that a lot of fraud was caught & prevented (which would only be known internally), but it can also be true that there is always more that can be done to reduce the impact of fraud on an online business, from fake accounts to payment fraud to money laundering. It's also important to remember what every fraud-fighter with experience on "the frontlines" understands. That the battles they "fight" are not only coming from outside their company, but often they are "fighting" battles waged with them internally at the same time. And unlike the fight with cybercriminals, it often requires compromise between the altruistic ideals of the fraud/risk/Trust & Safety team and the demands/goals of the business. Ultimately, neither Frank nor Karisse can make an absolute decision of what should have or could have been/should be done based solely on this report. There just isn't enough data to form an opinion one way or another. But, the topics they discuss & examples they share from a few anonymous fraud-fighters' experiences throughout this episode are timely, and may just prepare you for an upcoming battle you're not aware of yet.Fraudology is hosted by Karisse Hendrick, a fraud fighter with decades of experience advising hundreds of the biggest ecommerce companies in the world on fraud, chargebacks, and other forms of abuse impacting a company's bottom line.
