        Merchants - Card Fraud Prevention

Customers require cards to be accepted as a matter of convenience. Some training and knowledge can help reduce the amount of fraud merchants experience from card transactions. 

Typical behaviors of fraudsters to watch out for are:
> Large, out of character or suspicious selection of items
> Rushed or impatient customers
> Repeated orders
> Declining clearly advantageous offers - such as free delivery on large items
> Orders right before closing or at opening
> Shipping and billing addresses do not match
> International orders
> Multiple orders or multiple cards used from a single IP address
