Block the path after confirmed fraud
A confirmed fraud chargeback is not a closed ticket. It is a path that still works until you block it. The same card, inbox, device, or ship-to will buy again if any door is open.
Pair: Fraud stop-list checklist on Chargebacks. Families: reason codes.
Five blocks, same day
PAN / token. Gateway and CRM. Killing the gateway PAN while the CRM token still bills is how continuity gets hit twice.
Email. CS and checkout. Not CS-only. They will place a new order.
Device / fingerprint. If you have it. Skip this row only when you truly have no device data. Then say so.
Ship-to address. Repeat fraud ship-to is a classic. Email-only blocks miss it.
All live MIDs. Not only the MID that took the hit. If checkout can rotate, they will. See MIDs.
BIN blocks need a human. Do not blanket-bin a big issuer because one ticket hurt. The checklist does not tick BIN on purpose.
If the offer is continuity, cancel the MIT. A blocked PAN with a live subscription is not blocked. See subscriptions.
Do not wait for a weekly meeting. The next order is often the same day.
When this fails
Blocking on one MID while checkout still uses another. Email-only blocks. Never touching the CRM token.
This is not a velocity rule. This is not 3DS placement. Those are other jobs. This list is the door you close after the CB you already lost.
Procedure
- After a confirmed fraud CB, tick PAN, email, device, address, all MIDs.
- Close the holes the same day.
- Cancel MIT if it is continuity.
- Do not wait for a weekly meeting.
Failure modes
- Blocking on one MID while checkout still uses another.
- Email-only blocks.
- Never touching the CRM token.
Worked example
None on this page yet. When one lands it will be a real case: what broke, the number, and what changed. Not a composite.
Glossary
- Stop list
- Blocks after confirmed fraud so the same card, email, or ship-to cannot buy again on any MID.

FAQ
- Is an email block enough?
- No. They retry with a new inbox on the same card or the same ship-to. Block PAN or token, email, device if you have it, and the ship-to.
- We blocked the MID that took the hit. Are we done?
- No. Checkout may still use another live MID. Tick every MID that can take an order, including continuity.
- Can this wait for the weekly fraud meeting?
- No. Same day. If it is continuity, cancel the MIT token before the next rebill.
