Fraud Reporting Flow
Fraud reporting flow
Overview
The fraud reporting flow is used to report potential fraud to Google. This flow is used to update Google's internal risk engine and does not initiate any money movement.
Providing Google with fraudulent payment classifications will help Google identify potentially fraudulent usage of payment instruments before the fraudster is able to initiate a payment. Blocking these types of transactions before they happen protects the user and improves the user experience. It also reduces the operational cost of maintaining this Carrier Wallets API specification, as it reduces the potential for fraud incidents requiring manual work to reimburse users, and monetary losses pertaining to those reimbursements.
The Payment Integrator can inform Google of the potential fraud for a transaction by calling into the fraudNotification
It is also important to provide Google with an accurate, stable account identifier at Account Association time in order to help Google understand account reuse.

Payment Integrators use the `fraudNotification` method to inform Google of suspected fraud related to a transaction. This action updates Google's internal risk engine but does not result in any monetary transfers. The process is specifically designed for fraud reporting, not for initiating financial actions.\n"]]
