Real people used their credit cards to book hotels. The fraud was perpetrated by the booking company who acted as an agent. They took payment for rooms that didn't exist and they kept the money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Depending on many details, such as the payment gateway, card type, date of payment etc, it's often possible for customers to get a full credit from the card company, as part of their terms. Customers are inclined (rightly so) to trust their cards and their cards' judgement on retailers. The retailer needs to set up a system (connected to a card, passport, account or whatever) to insure that funds are retrievable for a set period of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
