Fake orders are requests that people leave in your online store with no intention of purchasing a thing. Fraudulent orders are made for a variety of goals and methods. If such orders are placed repeatedly, the online store system suffers as well. Managers squander time processing bogus tickets, while real customers are served late.
E-commerce fraudulent orders are merely one aspect of the larger ad fraud problem. Fraudsters are constantly coming up with new ways to make money. Some applications, for example, simulate the behaviors of a legitimate user while bypassing all security and verification measures.
