What is Triangulation Fraud?
Triangulation fraud is a sophisticated scheme involving three parties:
- An unsuspecting customer
- A fraudulent seller
- A legitimate business (the victim)
The fraudster creates a storefront on a marketplace platform, offering products at attractive price points. When a customer makes a purchase, the fraudster uses stolen credit card information to buy the product from a legitimate retailer and ships it to the customer. The legitimate business is then left to deal with chargebacks when the real cardholder disputes the fraudulent charge.
The Impact Triangulation Fraud Has the Legitimate Business
The consequences for businesses caught in triangulation fraud can be severe, including:
- Financial losses
- Inventory depletion
- Reputational damage
- Operational disruptions
- Increased costs
