The statistics speak for themselves: according to the Cybercrime Report for the 4th quarter of 2016, online stores recorded a 57 percent increase in rejected payment transactions. Gabriel Garay, Expert Data Analyst Fraud at Intrum Justitia, is not surprised by this high figure: \"Buying from online stores is very popular. They are often the target of fraud attempts because they offer insecure payment methods such as invoice.\"<\/p>\n

Three types of fraud in focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most common type of fraud is inbound fraud: a person knowingly orders products, but knows beforehand that they cannot pay for them. Identity theft also plagues the online industry. Here, the fraudster assumes the identity of another person and orders the selected products in their name. He has found the details on social media or on the Internet in general, for example. In order not to attract attention, he chooses a neutral address or post office as a pick-up station. The third type of fraud is denying receipt of delivery. This is all the more serious because the online retailer bears the shipping risk.<\/p>\n
