There is _always_ fraud, and you can't stop it all. All you can do is try to minimize the cost of the fraud.

There is an "acceptable" fraud rate from a payment processor. This explains why there are different rates for "card present" and "card not present" transactions, and why things like Apple Pay and Google Pay are popular with merchants.
