Tip of the Week: Detecting a Digitally Altered Image
Many agents request that new clients send email images of the cardholder’s driver’s license/passport and images of the front and back of the credit/debit card as proof of the client’s identity and payment information. Unfortunately, fraudsters are often adept at digitally altering such documents to make themselves appear legitimate. Though agents receive these emailed document images, it does not provide relief from potential chargebacks because the document images may be altered.
