Getting ready for Mothers Day

“M is for the many things she gave me…”

It’s one of those curious things in the world that “Ma” or “Mama” is understood to be our maternal parent. This recognition is nearly universal as some variation can be found from Polish to Swahili, China to Wales. Across the globe we all need to take a little more time to thank our mothers. Given that, I always find myself looking for just the right thing to get my mother on Mother’s Day. What do you get someone who seems to have everything? 2Checkout would like to take the worry out of Mother’s Day for you and offer you the following Ideas.

For Earth Day

For Earth Day, I want to talk a little about 2Checkout’s “Green Initiative”. We have made becoming a “greener” company an important focus this year. Not only is this good for the environment, it is also good business as many of the small steps a company can take will ultimately reduce costs and make the business more efficient.

“Adopting environmentally-friendly and energy efficient business practices provides numerous benefits to new business owners looking to control costs, attract customers, and become socially responsible.” -business.gov

Most of the steps we have taken since January have been rather small changes, but a series of small steps can make a huge difference. Some of the changes for our ‘Green Initiative” are:

Fighting Online Fraud with 2Checkout’s Sebbe Jones (Part Two)

Fighting Online Fraud with 2Checkout’s Sebbe Jones (Part Two)

In yesterday’s blog Fighting Online Fraud with 2Checkout’s Sebbe Jones, Sebbe discussed how 2Checkout developed a sophisticated fraud scrubbing process, over a number of years, by intimately learning the mitigation process, through the manual examination of tens of thousands of orders the first few years of 2Checkout’s existence. Through hard work and innovative thought, 2CO developed a world-class fraud scrubbing process, but “the times were a changin’.” Each year, fraudsters were becoming more advanced and organized and 2Checkout’s volume of sales was increasing at an amazing rate. It was all his staff could do to keep up with the increased volume of sales and fraudsters.

Then dark times hit. When 2Checkout switched its system from Version 1 to Version 2, the sophisticated fraud queue was errantly left out of the upgrade. Years of work were wiped out in an instant. Sebbe and his staff endured a two-fold increase in manual order checks. The days were growing long, fraudulent transactions were on the rise and something had to give. — (Back to Sebbe’s story)

Fighting Online Fraud with 2Checkout’s Sebbe Jones (Part One)

Sebbe Jones, 2Checkout’s Fraud Czar, has spent a majority of his professional career fighting online fraud. He is one of 2Checkout’s most valued employees and is regularly called upon by the industry to speak on the subject. The following two-part blog, which will conclude tomorrow, is Sebbe’s narrative on 2Checkout’s fraud fighting history, the lessons learned along the way and a brief look at his department’s methodology… that is, the part he is allowed to share with you. This rare glimpse into “Sebbe’s World” will provide you the reasons why 2CO’s fraud scrubbing service is so highly valued by its customers who receive the service as a value-add, and why no e-commerce business should attempt to stand alone in the war against online fraud.

Allow me a moment to introduce myself and talk about my history at 2Checkout. My name is Sebbe Jones. I am the manager of Fraud Detection and Prevention at 2Checkout and manage a staff of analysts and investigators.

We are very good at what we do, but don’t take my word for it. Let our record and departmental process speak for itself.

Today and tomorrow, I will post a two-part blog describing 2Checkout’s daily fraud mitigation efforts - what goes into our daily work, a little history behind the development and rejuvenation of our department, and ultimately explain why you shouldn’t try tackling fraud on your own.
