A restaurant owner has reported significant losses due to tap-to-pay fraud. Leighton Dickson, owner of Leighton's, says his business has dealt with 30 to 45 chargebacks since opening in May, resulting in losses of over $5,000. The issue arises when a customer uses someone else's debit or credit card loaded onto their phone to make a purchase, and then disputes the charge.
Further details about the situation and how the restaurant is addressing the issue are available. The restaurant has partnered with its point-of-sale system to investigate the problem. The incident highlights the potential risks associated with tap-to-pay transactions, and businesses may need to take steps to protect themselves.
