UdemyE-commerce fraud is real, and it targets merchants at every stage of the customer journey. This course teaches you the warning signs—and how to respond. You'll learn how payment data flows from merchants through processors to banks, where the risks lie for both customer and merchant, and what protections exist at each step. The course covers common fraud schemes (phishing, romance scams, miracle health scams, shopping fraud, West African fraud) and money laundering, so you recognize red flags before they cost you. You'll see real examples across industries: e-commerce, iGaming, retail, casinos. The approach is broad—a practical overview of the payments ecosystem, its vulnerabilities, and its trends—rather than a deep technical dive. No payments background required; just curiosity about how the system works and how to defend against abuse.
Learn how to detect and prevent fraudulent abuse of your ecommerce business by getting trained in the fraud red flags and how they appear at many different points in a customer’s journey.
