Businesses operating in high-risk and emerging payment sectors must contend with unique fraud patterns, customer behaviors, and increased scrutiny from card networks and financial institutions. In this podcast Chargebacks911 and PayModum examines why chargebacks are more common in industries such as online trading, dating platforms, subscription services, digital goods, and gaming. Our experts will break down the mistakes that increase dispute exposure and share practical strategies for protecting revenue without damaging the customer experience. What you’ll learn: Why certain payment verticals experience higher chargeback and fraud rates How customer behavior and transaction models influence dispute risk Which common merchant mistakes can increase chargebacks and card network scrutiny How to identify and respond to fraud patterns specific to complex payment environments Practical strategies for reducing disputes without adding unnecessary customer friction How to protect revenue, approval rates, and long-term payment processing relationships Presentations by Justin Clements and Jake Dovey

Video Podcast Replay – Audio from an earlier webinar with experts from Chargebacks911 and Cside Traditional chargeback evidence is losing ground. Receipts, shipping confirmations, and AVS or CVV matches may still show that a transaction happened, but they do not always prove who made it. In this ChargeForward Replay episode, Justin Clements sits down with Simon Wijckmans, CEO and co-founder of Cside, to explore why issuers are now looking for stronger context, stronger signals, and stronger proof. As fraud tactics evolve and VAMP raises the pressure on merchants, the conversation makes one thing clear: winning disputes increasingly depends on showing how a transaction happened, not just that it happened. Disputes are no longer being decided solely by receipts, timestamps, and proof of delivery. That shift is forcing merchants to rethink what compelling evidence actually looks like. In this episode, our experts break down how browser-side intelligence helps fill that gap. From device fingerprinting and behavioral monitoring to identifying VPN usage, automation, and suspicious session patterns, these signals can help merchants spot fraud earlier and present stronger evidence when disputes happen. The discussion also explores how merchants can use this data proactively under compelling evidence 3.0, potentially stopping some invalid disputes before they are filed at all. What you’ll learn: Why traditional evidence is losing effectiveness in today’s dispute environment How browser-side signals can strengthen compelling evidence and dispute prevention Why device continuity is becoming one of the strongest trust indicators for issuers How behavioral context can help distinguish legitimate purchases from fraud What card testing, bots, and enumeration attacks mean for VAMP risk Why merchants need to prepare now for AI agents and new dispute scenarios Presentations by Justin Clements and Simon Wijckmans

What you’ll learn: How holiday transaction volume shifts during Cyber Week and how shopper behavior impacts payment performance How to stress test your payments stack to avoid downtime, latency, and soft decline spikes How to minimize false declines while strengthening fraud controls Which fraud tactics will escalate this season and how to prepare ahead of time How to prevent the January and February chargeback hangover that follows holiday peaks Presentations by Justin Clements, Steve Marshall and Paul Smith

Video Podcast Replay – Audio from an earlier webinar with experts from Chargebacks911 and Bankful Visa’s new VAMP program marks a turning point in fraud monitoring. Unlike past iterations, VAMP puts acquirers directly in the driver’s seat as enforcement partners, raising the stakes for merchants. From TC40 visibility to enumeration ratios, the risks are real and the penalties are steep. We break down what’s changed, what hasn’t, and how merchants can prepare before the new rules come back to bite. What you’ll learn: Why VAMP represents a complete overhaul, not a tweak to old fraud programs. The critical role of acquirers as enforcers and what that means for merchants. How TC40s now count toward ratios, and why real-time visibility is key. The power of Compelling Evidence 3.0 to shift liability back to issuers. Why the enumeration ratio could become your scariest KPI and how to monitor it. Practical questions merchants should be asking their acquirers right now to avoid trouble later.
