Not only clients who reported their transaction fraud even they knowingly made the purchase hurt our record (through Stripe and Paypal), the business will also have to pay the chargeback fee of $15.00.

Having said that, when the dispute is being made, and the bank decided in "your" (the client) favour, we will then go to the extra investigation through our third party partners and check the following information:

  • Geolocation checks
  • IP address, device, and email risk analysis
  • Credit card information
  • Transaction data
  • Network reputational analysis
