It's
busy season -
time of year when your customers shop 'til they drop. As a business owner you're probably happily enjoying
extra sales
holiday season brings. Cha-ching! Cha-ching!Gnihc-ahc!
Uh-oh. "Any-payment-processor.com" just did a reverse cha-ching... in your account! They charged you back because a customer requested a refund.
It hurts having to give a refund, but it happens to all of us occasionally. And as honest business owners, we want to make our customers happy by offering a money-back guarantee if they're not satisfied.
But did you know that customers who *claim* they never made a purchase will, almost without a doubt, get a refund, no questions asked?
And are you aware that many purchases, especially at this time of year, are made with stolen credit cards?
It's sad but true. As
holiday rush comes upon us, and even into January,
possibility for scams and fraud is much greater than at any other time of
year. Internet business owners are especially at risk for fraudulent refund requests.
