FRAUDULENT CHARGEBACK RESPONSE
Once a merchant dispute is received by the business, swift action can change the outcome. The merchant should always respond to the dispute file with the bank. At the same time, scrutiny of the customer can motivate a fraudster to withdraw the dispute.
On your behalf, we will contact the cardholder to begin an investigation. The contact will inform the cardholder that a licensed investigative firm is looking into the matter. If the cardholder is a true victim of fraud themself, it shows that you as a company are looking out for their best interests.
The cardholder will be on notice that the IP address used for the order is being traced. Emails and phones used in the order are being identified. We ask if they have filed a police report for identity theft, so that we can pass along our findings to law enforcement.
We also inform that we are investigating the location of the delivered products, or use of the services, so that we can identify those who have been in possession of the items.
The contact to the cardholder informs them that multiple sources can be deployed, including computer forensics, surveillance, and background information.
We advise that they may contact us with any additional information that they have. Any contacts are logged and reported to you the client, as well as tracking of emails, phone calls, and letters communicated to the client.
