FraudLabs Pro allows you to place a buyer, based on the email address, into Watchlist for close monitoring. With this new feature in place, you can now approve a first time buyer conditionally by putting this buyer into a Watchlist for subsequent purchase monitoring. If you happened to notice any abnormal future purchasing patterns, such as repeatedly purchase an item for no reason, or unusual upgrades, you can immediately blacklist this buyer and stop all the order fulfillment to minimize the fraud losses. This is one of the common fraudster’s tactics trying to pretend to be a legitimate and good buyer for the first purchase, with subsequent fraudulent orders ensuing.
This feature is available for Small plan onward. To use this feature, you need to enable the feature on the settings page and create a new rule, “Email Address Equal To Watchlisted Email”, to always flag the watchlist users for review until you release the user from monitoring.
