Floorzap Payments Tips for Fraud Prevention

Helpful Customer Tips for Fraud Prevention

Secure Payment Practices
  • Always use trusted payment systems with built-in fraud protection. 
  • Avoid high-risk payment methods like wire transfers, gift cards, or peer-to-peer apps for business transactions. 

Handling Large or Suspicious Orders
 Verify unusually large or rushed orders by: 

  • Calling the customer directly using a verified phone number. 
  • Confirming order details, pricing, and delivery expectations. 
  • Watching for red flags: 
    • Pressure to process payment immediately. 
    • Mismatched billing/shipping addresses. 
    • Requests to split payments across multiple cards. 
Common Scams to Watch For
  • “Pickup & Chargeback" Scam – Customer pays online, demands immediate pickup, then disputes the charge. 
  •  Overpayment Scam – Buyer sends extra money and asks for a partial refund. 
  •  Phishing/Fake Invoices – Fraudster impersonates a vendor/customer to redirect payments. 
Order Verification & Documentation
  •  Send detailed receipts(email/SMS) with itemized costs. 
  •  Follow up on high-value orders to confirm legitimacy. 
  •  Request additional verification if needed (ID, business license, utility bill).

Clear Refund & Dispute Policies

  • Disclose policies upfront (e.g., "No refunds on custom orders"). 
  • Keep thorough records (order confirmations, shipping proof, customer communications) to fight chargebacks. 
Employee Training
  • Train staff to recognize scams (phishing, fake checks, social engineering). 
  • Encourage reporting of suspicious requests (urgency, odd payment methods). 

If Something Feels "Off"

  • Pause the transaction and investigate further. 
  • Contact the customer through a verified channel.
