Finanzbetrug durch unsicherere Identitätsprüfung bei Dritten
Definition
G2RS verification includes reading the NFC chip on German eID cards via 6-digit PIN, but the vendor's backend document-matching process may have gaps. Fraudsters can register with stolen identity documents or create synthetic identities. Once verified, they launch campaigns, generate fake traffic, then dispute charges, forcing refunds. Publishers absorb the fraud loss (chargeback fees + lost ad revenue).
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €500–€5,000/year per publisher (typical fraud chargeback rate = 0.5–2% of campaign spend; for €50,000–€250,000 annual ad spend = €250–€5,000).
- Frequency: Ongoing; typically 2–5 fraudulent account attempts per month for active publishers; 1–2 successful fraud cases per year.
- Root Cause: Third-party vendor (G2RS) verification process lacks real-time fraud signals; no integration with German police/BaFin fraud databases; slow manual escalation.
