# Disputing Fraudulent Transactions

If you suspect that a fraudulent transaction has occurred on your card, it is recommended that you **block the card** first to prevent any further transactions.

The blocking can be done through the same module as reporting a lost/stolen card.

Once your card has been blocked, you can call the Call Center on the back of your card. A customer service associate will guide you through the process of submitting the fraudulent transaction claim.

You will be required to provide supporting evidence to substantiate your fraudulent transaction claim.
