This downloadable article suggests preventative
methods and post-order procedures that merchants can perform to minimize credit
card fraud. When a brick and mortar merchant accepts a credit card, and the charge
is authorized, and assuming the merchant conforms to regulation, the merchant will
get paid, even if a stolen card is used.
Liability for fraud shifts from the card issuer to the merchant for 'Card Not Present'
sale (mail order, telephone/fax order, and internet sales). The merchant is generally
liable for credit card charge backs, even when the bank has authorized the transaction.
After a merchant is stung by a fraud, the credit card processors often hike their
rates, citing increased risk. The merchant also risks losing their accounts with
the card companies if their fraud rate gets too high.
