There’s Nothing Friendly About Chargeback Fraud

"Fraud" is one of the most common reasons cardholders cite when filing a chargeback. But under the wide umbrella of true fraud hides a more sinister form of deceit: chargeback fraud.

Charge-back Fraud is when cardholders dispute a transaction with the bank instead of contacting the merchant for a refund. Sometimes called friendly fraud, it involves actual consumers abusing the chargeback process to secure a refund.

Despite the wide range of excuses people may use, there is an increasing likelihood that these sorts of claims are false and the intent dishonest. Why would a customer misrepresent a transaction? There are multiple potential reasons, including:

Reasons a customer would misrepresent a transaction:

- The cardholder’s actual intention was to get something free.
- The cardholder simply did not understand the process.
- The cardholder experienced buyer’s remorse, regretting the purchase but not wanting to confront the merchant.
- A family member made the purchase, but the primary cardholder either didn't know or simply didn’t want to honor the charges.
- The cardholder didn’t recognize the charge or forgot about making the purchase.
- The cardholder didn’t qualify for a traditional refund (for example, the time limit had passed).

Obviously, a certain number of claims filed will be legitimate, caused by merchant errors or criminal fraud. But the percentage of fraudulent chargebacks is growing exponentially each year.
