FAQs - Enfact Fraud Text Alerts

If I receive an alert, does that automatically block my account from further purchases?
The majority of suspected fraud accounts will be blocked, just as they are today. However, some lower risk items may not be declined.

If I respond back that the transaction is valid, will you automatically unblock the account?
Yes, though please keep in mind that it could take 5-10 minutes for a block to be removed in some situations.

If the transaction is declined due to suspected fraud, but I validate that I did make the purchase, can I try to complete the purchase again?
Once the alert is updated in our fraud system, you can attempt the transaction again, usually within 5-10 minutes of the initial call or text to validate the transaction. There may be some instances where you will need to call 7 17 to verify the purchase.

What if my “yes” or “no” text response has a typo?
If the system receives a text other than the specific words requested, it will generate a message informing you that your message was not understood. It will request that you try again or reply HELP for further assistance.
