Abstract

This study examines concerns about online transaction and purchase fraud, using a variety of methods for identifying and investigating fraudulent activities. We surveyed a sample of 235 internet users. We put in an appearance at data collection in multiple regions across Bangladesh. This study uses statistical methods, including the chi-square test, Kruskal-Walli’s test, and ANOVA-F test, to identify certain characteristics and trends associated with fraudulent transactions. By carefully examining large datasets, we want to provide detailed insights into the techniques and activities of fraudulent actors, which will eventually aid in the creation of greater fraud detection and prevention systems in the field of technology.

Keywords: Fraudulent, ANOVA-F test, Kruskal-Wallis’s test, and chi-square test.
