False return claims occur when customers misrepresent why they're returning items. Common examples include claiming items arrived damaged to get free returns, or saying orders were never received while keeping the merchandise. Detecting false claims requires comparing stated reasons against product condition data, delivery confirmation, and customer history patterns.
