I once bought a 2k item online from a well known camera store in the US. I called and asked for a competitor price adjustment. I did end up purchasing it over the phone. A day later I noticed that a fraud specialist from that company looked at my LinkedIn profile. So, yeah I guess that they do have to figure it out on almost every transaction/customer
- acomjean 8y agoThe camera stores have it down pretty well. I remember trying to ship a camera lens to my fathers place (He's retired and can sign for it) as opposed to my usual address. Long story short (and a phone call), I did get it sorted. But part of that was I was a customer for a few years and was able to prove that it was ok. I was glad they were vigilant. They have databases of "known addresses" so if your order doesn't match, it can be hard. (They keep the old addresses too, as an attempt to get UPS automated phone center to hold for pickup one time ended up with them shipping the clothes to an 8 year address of mine in a adjacent state. )
- kevin_thibedeau 8y agoI just bought an expensive bed yesterday and got a fraud alert text within 5 seconds of the transaction going out and my card was shut off today temporarily until I confirmed the purchase again. Some banks are fairly on the ball when it comes to detecting irregular purchase patterns.
