The Anti-Fraud is a system of identification of fraud during online payments and e-banking.
According to its
Anti-Fraud Policy,
Tickets.pl controls the flow of the arriving funds and try to prevent any financial fraud. However, we are unable to influence the decisions of the payment systems, and your transaction may be regarded as suspicious.
Main reasons why a transaction may be identified as suspicious by the anti-fraud filters:
- The online payment was made in a country other than the one in which the Customer's card was issued.
- The card is blacklisted by the anti-fraud systems.
- The card was issued in a country where most of scam with the сredit/debit card occurs. Usually, it is certain countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Besides, your card may not be accepted for some other reasons as well. To find more about this issue, please read the article
“Why the сredit/debit card may not be accepted".
How the anti-fraud systems react to suspicious activities:
- once the information has been entered, the card is automatically blocked.
- the payment system blocks the payment attempt without giving reasons.
- the payment system sends an email to the Customer with the request to submit the required documents to confirm his/her ownership of the card.
- the payment system offers the Customer a simple online check to make sure he/she is a real holder of the card.
