card holder contact us for followup. We have tried to contact the card holder via the contact information he had provided on his invoice in - and have left voice mail with no reply. Wells Fargo Merchant Service returned the charge back to the card holder favoring card holder 's claim of contacting - and refusal of - to provid service or refund. We have requested Wells Fargo to provide us with any specifics, information dates time etc and they have not been able to. Rules and regulations in Charge Back Management Guideline for Visa Merchant Section - : - -, states : " The cardholder claims that the terms of the sale were misrepresented by the merchant for this reason, the cardholder must have made a valid attempt to resolve the dispute or return the merchandise.Based on information provided and the card holder 's attempts to avoid having contact with -, and - 's inability to reach the cardholder via contact information he had provided thus preventing - to have any opportunity to examine and substantiate any claim, we believe this is a classic case of what is referred to as Friendly Fraud. Fraud is one of the most common methods cardholders use to file a chargeback. Chargeback fraud occurs when a customer files a chargeback on a legitimate transaction instead of following the merchant 's procedures for requesting a refund. Well-intentioned customers may accidentally commit chargeback fraud because they are ignorant of the differences between a traditional refund and a bank-issued refund. They do n't know what chargeback fraud is and incorrectly assume a chargeback is simply an easier way to get their money back.Other consumers are aware of the loopholes in the chargeback process and knowingly abuse this consumer protection mechanism. For example, a customer will authorize a credit card transaction and later file a fraudulent chargeback once the item has been received. In this case, chargeback fraud is committed in the hopes of getting something for free. We believe the Wells Fargo Bank Merchant Services is in direct violation of Visa Chargeback Management Guide Section - : Chargeback Reason Codes - Merchant Services has failed to investigate the dispute to verify if the card holder 's claims of contacting - and - refusal is true. As a result - has been defrauded. Please investigate and advise. Thank you - - - --
