As digital commerce continues to surge in the U.S., so do online threats. Scammers are evolving, and so should your chargeback strategy. In 2025, combining digital risk protection with social media analysis isn’t just smart—it’s necessary.
Why Digital Risk Protection Matters More Than Ever
The rise of phishing scams, identity theft, and account takeovers has made it essential for businesses to defend themselves beyond traditional fraud tools. Digital risk protection refers to proactive monitoring and mitigation of threats across all digital touchpoints.
Top Threats in 2025
- Fake websites imitating your brand
- Stolen customer credentials sold on dark web
- Fraudulent transaction patterns on social media
- False chargeback claims with coordinated stories
By implementing digital risk protection tools, merchants can get ahead of these risks and stop disputes before they occur.
How Social Media Can Help You Win Disputes
You might think social media is just for marketing, but it’s now a critical tool in your chargeback dispute toolkit.
Why Monitor Social Media?
Customers who file friendly fraud chargebacks often leave a digital trail:
- Posts showing they used the product or service
- Comments contradicting their chargeback reason
- Public requests for refunds or reviews that indicate intent
This evidence can support your representment case.
Example:
A customer claims they never received your fitness product. But your team finds an Instagram story showing them unboxing and tagging your brand. This post can be submitted as compelling evidence in your response package.
Steps to Use Social Media Evidence Effectively
- Track Mentions of Your Brand
Use social listening tools to monitor posts, comments, and hashtags that reference your products. - Document Customer Activity
Screenshot any relevant customer content with timestamps before it’s deleted or hidden. - Connect to the Dispute Case
Clearly explain how the social media post disproves the cardholder’s claim. - Include It in Representment
Present this content in a concise, professional format as part of your rebuttal package.
