Fraud, Bribery & CorruptionUS Department of Justice Targets Fraud Networks Exploiting 'Microtransactions' to Steal Funds

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is intensifying its efforts against fraud networks involved in stealing money from consumer bank accounts and using “microtransactions” to conceal their activity. The DOJ has initiated two civil cases and multiple criminal cases as part of its crackdown on networks of fraudsters engaged in unauthorised charges to pilfer funds from consumers’ financial accounts. These fraudsters often use microtransactions, bundling the unauthorised charges with numerous low-value transactions to reduce the chargeback rate. The DOJ aims to prevent fraudsters from accessing victims’ bank accounts and siphoning their savings.
