Retail Refund Frauds Are Getting Smarter. Your Defense Isn’t.

Your CX or finance team gets another refund request. The customer says the item was missing. The box’s already been discarded. There’s no proof either way. Now it’s up to…

Gut feeling

Manual RMA check

Escalation chains between support, warehouse, and finance

Writing it off to “keep the peace”

Meanwhile, the fraudster walks away with the item and the refund.

Tired of paying for what you can’t prove?

Is This A Fit For You?

This isn’t for everyone. These checklists help you see if vAudit fits your flow, or if your current setup already gets the job done.

You're A Great Fit If You…

This Isn’t For You If You…

You process fewer than 50 returns a day
Your refunds don’t face customer abuse or fraud patterns
You have no return station or central unpacking process
Your returns are non-physical (e.g., digital goods)
You aren’t looking to fight or document refund denials

Think you are a good fit for preventing retail return fraud with vAudit?

“This Won’t Work for Us”— Until It Does

Different teams push back for different reasons and that’s totally fair. But once they see how vAudit actually fits their world, the story changes.

“Our return team already flags fraud manually.”

Reframe: Manual = subjective. This is objective video proof.

Result: Finance and CX gain defensible evidence, not just suspicion.

“We won’t have the order ID at the return station.”

Reframe: Use time and station filters. Match footage to RMA within 1-minute windows.

Result: Works even without integrations.

“Aren’t employees being recorded?”

Reframe: Yes, but faces can be masked. It’s not for monitoring them.

Result: Protects staff and brand. Designed for fairness.

Secure, Private, and Audit-Ready by Default

Clear policies, smart safeguards, and built-in controls keep your team protected. Everything is private, secure, and ready for audits from day one.

Footage is tied to orders, not employees. Faces can be masked, and access is tightly controlled.

Only authorized users can view or search. Everything is logged, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Footage is encrypted, time-stamped, and SOC-2 aligned. You’re covered for audits, disputes, and legal checks.

Role-based permissions with view-only access. No external sharing. Footage stays where it belongs.

SOC 2 Compliant Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade security protocols, encryption, and compliance built for scale. Trusted by regulated industries and modern 3PLs.

“You control the footage. We control the risk.”
