CNP inFocus: Friendly Fraud
February 22-26, 2021
In our seventh CNP inFocus, we will tackle friendly fraud, a type of fraud that is a bit of a misnomer as it is not friendly at all. In many of these scenarios, the customer is complicit in their actions online and had these actions been completed at a physical store, it would fall under loss prevention to find, detain and prosecute these crimes. We will discuss the many keys to finding and preventing this type of fraud online and what type of mechanisms are best at tackling this fraud tactic.
