When customers provide their phone numbers during transactions, it allows e-commerce companies to send order confirmations, shipping updates, and tracking information, which enhances the overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, in cases where there are issues with an order, having a valid phone number enables timely and direct customer support, helping to resolve problems efficiently and build customer loyalty. Furthermore, phone numbers are often used for two-factor authentication, adding an extra layer of security to e-commerce transactions, which is especially important for protecting sensitive financial and personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks of Phone Number Fraud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is also a fraud risk if the phone numbers in e-commerce transactions are exploited by the fraudsters. Fraudsters may use the stolen or fake phone numbers to create fraudulent accounts, place orders and even provide fake customer contact information, making it challenging for businesses to verify the legitimacy of transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, fraudsters might use phone numbers to carry out phishing attacks, sending text messages or making fraudulent calls to customers, impersonating legitimate businesses to trick individuals into revealing personal or financial information. This can lead to identity theft, unauthorized charges, or other fraudulent activities. Fraudsters can manipulate caller ID information during the order confirmation or customer support process, making it appear as if they are calling from a legitimate e-commerce company to further deceive customers into disclosing sensitive data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduce New Phone Number Validation Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to counteract phone number fraud, FraudLabs Pro has introduced new validation rules that empower merchants to inspect and prevent such fraudulent activities. These below validation rules are exclusively applicable to merchants utilizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraudlabspro.com\/pricing\"><strong>Small plan<\/strong><\/a> or above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By incorporating these rules, businesses can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enhanced Fraud Detection<\/strong>: Identifying invalid or suspicious phone numbers during transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Improved Delivery Success<\/strong>: Ensuring accurate contact information for efficient order fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strengthened Security<\/strong>: Preventing phishing attacks and fake accounts by verifying phone number authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Better Customer Experience<\/strong>: Facilitating effective communication through valid and reachable numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are Phone Number Validation Rules introduced by FraudLabs Pro:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. <strong>Phone Number Equal\/Not Equal to Valid Phone Number<\/strong><br>This rule is designed to verify whether the transaction was initiated with a legitimate phone number or an invalid one.

These instructions will guide you on enabling this functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fraudlabspro.com\/merchant\/login\"><strong>FraudLabs Pro<\/strong> merchant area<\/a> and click on the <strong>Rules <\/strong>menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the <strong>Rules <\/strong>page, click on the <strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Add Rule\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/strong>button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the <strong>Rule <\/strong>dropdown, select <strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Phone Number Not Equal to Valid Phone Number\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <strong>Action<\/strong> and then click on the <strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Save\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The setting described above demonstrates the process of flagging an order for <strong>REVIEW<\/strong> when an <strong>invalid phone number<\/strong> is detected. The operation of this check is straightforward, it examines whether the order was made using an invalid phone number. If it identifies an invalid phone number, the rule is triggered and the FraudLabs Pro status is adjusted according to the configured action (Manual Review, Approve, or Reject). If the number is valid, the rule remains inactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrap-Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, merchants have to be aware of phone number fraud as the misuse of phone numbers by fraudsters poses a significant threat to the security and trustworthiness of e-commerce transactions. In the most extreme scenario, it could potentially harm the reputation of the business and alienate valuable customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Secure Transactions, Seamless Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Say goodbye to fraud worries!
