E-commerce is starting to distinguish the caution signs that show probable fraud. Here you can find some footprints or tracks of a cyber thief.
1. Orders at Late night. A great percentage of fraud orders take place late in the evening or early morning. E-commerce crime and fraud enlarges at night. According to the E-commerce websites reports and statistics, I found that 9 out of 10 orders were done between midnight and three in the morning.
2. Orders located outside the country. I read a lot of statistics on this subject and there have been some differences on which countries create the maximum frauds. Some of these countries are Russia, West African, and South American countries seem to create reliable great numbers.
3. Free and nameless e-mail services. I don’t agree that every order did with a free and nameless e-mail service is hustler, In my opinion approximately 95% of all fake orders were did with these kinds of services. I have found that all of these hustlers by means of these e-mail services had legal ISP’s, but they chose these free e-mail services to be anonymous. You cannot get the name and other information from these services without having password of email.
4. Huge money orders. I think money is no matter when it’s not yours.
5. E-mail address. The e-mail address can provide some signs. The e-mail address, in many cases will be the same of customer’s name. But they can choose an anonyms ID for email address.
6. Frequent tries to order from the same card. Please review all of your repeated and unsuccessful order entry efforts.
7. Everyday calls from purchasers. I really enjoy of this one case because you have an opportunity to record and follow the tracks of calls. Fraudsters will call frequently to check the status of orders.
I want to tell you that none of these signs are a complete identifier of E- commerce fraud and crimes. These are just indicators of possible fraud and crimes.
