We’ve pulled together some stats from our Investigations team to find out the common traits of fraudsters that operate within this arena. As we continue to grow our merchant base and process over a billion fraud scores a month, we also continue to analyse and gain data from our ever-expanding network. This enables us to increase our insight into the world of online fraud and the behaviours surrounding it.

We hope this is valuable to our customers and also to all merchants operating in the online space.
