Red Tape – BEWARE OF UNEXPECTED PACKAGES

Filed in: Industry News |

This is a great article about another type of rapidly growing fraud method. This method is something completely new to me, but business stand to lose the most from this type of fraud.

“Online criminals are having a harder and harder time tricking Web sites into shipping items purchased with stolen credit cards. So the bad guys are getting consumers to do their dirty work. By routing stolen packages through innocent consumers in inventive ways, criminals have sometimes been able to gain the upper hand in the cat and mouse game against fraud fighters inside electronic commerce firms.”
