Eliminate Fraud with Phone Verification

Let’s face it: If you re doing business online, your business is open 24 hours a day.  It’s still reachable at 3am when you are not watching it.

Another fact is that there are several fraudsters out there trying to order with stolen card, trying to access unauthorized accounts. And they do that this way or that way.

One another thing is that, while you try to reach real customers, you may find out that a fraudster filled several records in your database.

I can extend the samples a lot, but the main point is, you need to identify “good” and “bad”. Yes, by your business experience you can do till a certain point. But there are so many user profiles out there that you cannot identify only by your experience.

OnVerify.com here helps you and provides an automated way to distinguish “good” and “bad” with automated phone verifications.

For example, you are accepting free sign-ups for lead generation, a classical flow is:

  1. Display the offer
  2. Ask the customer’s details
  3. Record Details
  4. Send a welcome e-mail

OnVerify.com’s phone verification system can be placed in between 2 and 3; ask the customer to verify himself, easily, with an automated phone call.(It’s easier than sending an e-mail). So your new flow will be

  1. Display offer
  2. Ask the customer’s details
  3. Initiate a verification via OnVerify.com
  4. Ask announced pin
  5. RecordDetails
  6. Send a welcome e-mail

Adding an automated phone verification usually takes 2 hours to 2 days. There will be no setup or monthly fee, you will be charged only for the answered calls. See a live demo at http://www.onverify.com/a/demo

Fraud Prevention:Experience is Everything

Experience is everything. You need to keep records of successful and unsuccessful transactions; and learn from them. Copy the successful ones. Avoid unsuccessful. Unsuccessful ones (fraud, chargeback) will tell you the way hacker/scammer works, and add prevention methods to your system.

For example, if you see too much fraud from a country that you see safe, add this country to your fraud monitoring/scoring system. If you see too much from from a phone number, add prefix and type of it. Examples dont stop.

Your fraud monitorin/scoring system is a live one.

Fraud Prevention: Watch Free E-mails

Free e-mail account is very easy to setup than to setup an e-mail address with a company in background together with a web site. There are lots of companies refuse to do business with free e-mails. I do not suggest to completely avoid, but what I say that you must be careful with the orders done with free e-mails. Free e-mail is another positive point to your fraud scoring system.

Also, keep in mind that, marking an order for extra check for fraud, depends on your business model. If you target end-users, or let your customers try before buying, your customer may want to try or buy with a free personal e-mail. On the other side, if you explicitly sell to companies, or your products are highly priced, you must watch free e-mails.
