Fraudulent credit card chargebacks continue to be an ongoing issue in the live event ticket-ing industry. Using past work in the field as a guide, logistic, random forest, and k-nearest
neighbor models are trained and evaluated using a Tidymodels framework. To address
the imbalanced nature of the data set, upsampling, downsampling, SMOTE, ADASYN, and
ROSE resampling techniques were applied to the data set. Findings suggest that past results
are consistent in that unsampled random forest models perform best for predicting charge-
back fraud. The potential to streamline more machine learning models using a tideymodels
framework seems possible and would have potential benefit for company use. Sales Amount
associated with the order stands out as an influential variable in predicting chargeback fraud.
