Fraud credit card purchases

Discussion started by Swan3DStudios

Hi everyone

Lately we have a serious problem with cgtrader. Fraud purchases. Every month there is at least one stolen model by fraud purchase. I suggest cgtrader to disable credit card purchase option until this issue solved completely. If you are thinking the same way please support me. Modelling takes too much time and no one has the right to steal this time from the artists.

This thing is inevitable, not CGT is culpable. I had this problem on TurboSquid with fake Visa cards 100 times and even I were diamond they were never compensated me. TurboSquid has protection program (money refunded for 3 products for diamonds ) but they never respected this.

Thanks for reply ArtStudio3d. But Turbosquids chargeback protection is only for squidquild sellers. Being a diamond seller is not enough for protection.

I have been in the business for many years selling on a laundry lists of sites. I have had only one site where I never had any charge backs for this issue and that site is not longer in the business. Turbosquid always charged me for the cost. I had one this month already. It is unfortunate there are those out there doing this but they are often the ones that resell the models elsewhere. Be alert my friends.

Those resellers kills the business. Unfortunately there is not a way to prevent from this. INn my situation it is interesting that fraud purcahses occured for the same model.

Hey guys,

We at CGTrader recognize this is a big issue and are working very hard on it to stop it. We've taken quite a few decisions on how to stop the fraudulent purchases - in example, we've started to use the kount (http://www.kount.com/) service which should help us stop or at least minimize these fraud credit card purchases.

Kind regards,
Eduardas, CGTrader

This reply is 6yrs ago and the fraud is still happening in 2022. That means whatever cgtrader team is doing isn't working. Remove the option of using credit cards to buy things and rather make buyers link their bank account (details should match with their identity, location and all that) and the processing done via wire transfer which cant be reversed.
