Common conclusions

If the buyer appears nervous, agitated or rushed or if the buyer appears to be buying items with no regard for size, cost, etc', if the buyer is spending much more than your average customer, if the buyer is purchasing a large amount of expensive items or if the buyer provides a phone number for special authorization it can indicate that the buyer is committing credit card fraud.

If the card has characters that are different size, style or height or characters that are not aligned, if the card does not have a chip or a magnetic strip, that can indicate that the buyer is committing credit card fraud.

If the buyer is buying items like: camera, computer, video or stereo equipment, jewelry, shoes or men's clothing and if the buyer is buying large amounts of these items it can indicate credit card fraud.

If you looked for suspicious buyer behavior, suspicious credit cards and suspicious transactions and found nothing than it is likely the buyer is not committing credit card fraud.

Review your credit card statements and make sure all the transactions were made by you. If you need help you can search for credit monitoring apps and use them.
