Fraud reporting flow
Overview
The fraud reporting flow is used to report potential fraud to Google. This flow is used to update Google's internal risk engine and does not initiate any money movement. If money movement is initiated then a dispute should be started using the dispute flow. A dispute does not necessarily imply fraud and fraud does not necessarily accompany a dispute.
The Payment Integrator can inform Google of the potential fraud for a transaction by calling into the fraudNotification
