Ruin a Bad Guy's Day Radio interviews fraud expert Scott Adams with FraudPVP. Scott Adams with FraudPVP.com explains the value of Visa's Merchant Purchase Inquiry Program for reducing chargebacks and disputes and how FraudPVP can enhance your program by reducing chargeback management time and saving sales. FraudPVP/VMPI services can help prevent chargebacks before they even happen by improving communication between the parties involved. 

VMPI stands for Visa Merchant Purchase Inquiry and is part of the larger Visa Claims Resolution initiative (VCR). Visa created VMPI in an effort to make chargeback disputes simpler and more automated for merchants, issuers, acquirers and processors. Simply put, VMPI can help prevent chargebacks before they even happen by improving communication between the parties involved.

Scott Adams is the founder of FraudPVP. He has more than 20 years of experience in the field of payments as both a merchant and a fraud expert. He's worked with companies large and small to reduce chargebacks, improve ROI and fight fraud on multiple platforms. He strives to always think like a merchant and develop tools that make merchants' lives easier.

FraudPVP's VMPI Service gives you the chargeback-reducing power of VMPI with little to no set-up on your end. You can start deflecting chargebacks NOW. Listen to the Podcast to learn more!
