Adwords search traffic is of good quality in general.

It's your offer's landing page security procedures that should prevent that from happening by asking cvv2 and mastercard secure code / verified by visa.

Tell us a bit more about the offer.

Have you found well referenced articles on google with the name of the brand + an explanation how to do a chargeback?

It may be possible that the customers after validating the command do a search on google on the name of the brand and some sites are well referenced with aggressives offers name + articles about scam/ how to cancel / etc ..

If the advertiser doesn't find this chargeback rate with other traffic sources it is indeed abnormal and maybe can be segmented demographic criteria to find the problem

How do you know that these are stolen credit cards and not legitimate chargebacks?

because my chargeback ratio is much higher than others. advertiser told me that there is very big difference between my chargeback ratio and other peoples.

I am not sure that is necessarily the right conclusion. If the advertiser told you that they specifically got chargebacks for use of stolen credit cards, that would be one thing, but just because chargeback rates are high, does not necessarily mean they were due to stolen credit cards.

Are you cloaking? A cloaker might help you redirect people using a VPN to a different offer (people using a VPN are far more likely to chargeback or be fraudulent) .

The chargeback issue might just be related to the fact that you're over hyping the offer

Advertiser didn't told me that it is stolen cc issue, it's my conclusion because why most real users do chargeback after placing order? what could be other reason?

Also i ran same offer from other two networks and both network told me that i am getting high chargeback.

Do you really know what you are selling?

the thing is i am not understanding that my other competitor doing well without any problem but i'm getting chargeback.
