What are the costs of Internet fraud?

The direct costs of e-commerce fraud are obvious: costs of goods shipped, bank fees or charge back fees, and higher discount rates. But there are also indirect costs, such as the cost of tracking and handling fraudulent transactions, and the loss of customer loyalty when a valid order is rejected because fraud rules are too strict. Proper fraud protection can reduce fraud risk and safeguard the profitability of e-commerce businesses. In fact, an analysis of the charge back data from thousands of merchants using the Fraud Shield showed fraud rates of only 0.5%.
