By Carlee Bronkema| WAND-TV (Decatur, IL) Verified CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WAND) - For the last three months, restaurants have seen an increase in "friendly" fraud. Also known as chargeback fraud, this happens when customers order something, receive it, and then tell their credit card company that the charge was fraudulent. When this occurs, the restaurant is responsible for the original charge, and a chargeback fee. Additionally, if there are enough chargebacks, businesses' credit card processing fees increase for every order.
