# Illicit resource

A merchant cannot resolve the invoice that is assigned with the `status_context` of `illicit_resource` themselves.

Instead, Cryptopay Transaction Monitoring team will review this transaction and contact the merchant to make a decision on whether Cryptopay will be able to process this payment and add the funds to the merchant account balance or we will have to send the funds back to a sender.

{% hint style="info" %}
We highly recommend making your Fraud Prevention and Transaction Monitoring teams aware of all such payments so that they contact us at <risk@cryptopay.me>.
{% endhint %}
