The Dangers of Online & Retail Return Fraud

Return fraud happens across eCommerce and retail industries, whether B2C or B2B (to learn about common types of fraud, read What is Return Fraud?). In other words, if you allow returns of your product, you’re probably dealing with some type of in-store or online returns fraud.

Return fraud is costly to companies and risks losing the trust of your loyal customers, who could end up buying a bad product that was resold. False chargebacks, items purchased with stolen tender or incomplete electronic devices all deplete a company’s financial and team resources that should be focused on delighting customers (the vast majority of whom are honest).
