We use fraud monitoring tools to monitor your account for suspicious transactions and activity to help protect you against the fraudsters. If we detect any unusual purchasing patterns or locations, we may deny or hold a transaction until we’re sure it’s valid. Learn more about different types of fraud to look out for and how to report it within our Fraud Resources section.
