More Fraud Fighting Tools added --- Wednesday, December 4, 2002
Merchant 911, an E-commerce merchant advocate group, announced today that it has added even more anti-fraud tools to it's arsenal of weapons against the scum that try to perpetrate credit card fraud.
"We'll never stop them all." said Merchant 911's Founder and Director, Tom Mahoney, "But we're giving them a good run for their money." According to Mahoney, the new on-line fraud fighting tools and the organization's close ties with Card Cops , Merchant Fraud Squad, Combat Fraud, and the UK based Early Warning , make it clear that on-line merchants are fed up with rampant fraud on the Internet and the credit card companies' total lack of interest in cleaning it up.
Mahoney said, "We have merchants blocking entire countries and ISP's from getting to their E-commerce sites, and that's only the beginning. There's even talk about merchants sharing bad card and known scammer information."
Mahoney says that the card companies and processors don't do good fraud screens and won't provide merchants with the information they need to do it. Mahoney goes on to say, "What choice do we have? As long as the credit card industry profits from fraud, they are not going to help us. We have to do it ourselves - and we can certainly do it better."
