Dear Jivko, We have noticed activity with fraudulent credit card orders. This is what we did: 1) Do a address verification on the street adress and zip (will only work with us banks from visa). 2) get a voice authorization. 3) If you think you need to, get a fax copy of the front and back of the credit card with a signature usually the fraudulent orders will not return a voice authorization call. Hope that helps, Dev Dev Chanchani - INetU, Inc.(tm) - http://www.INetU.net Electronic commerce - Web development - Web hosting dev@INetU.net - Phone: (610) 266-7441 On Thu, 7 May 1998 jivko@ijs.com wrote: > > Hi there, > > Sorry for this not FreeBSD related question but since it is ISP related one > I figured you might be able to help us out. > > Some customers of ours have been having problems with hackers placing > orders with stolen credit cards from particular geographical locations and > they have asked us to help them limit the number of those orders somehow. > Any idea of how this could be done? > > I was thinking that perhaps one possible solution would be to have a list > of network addresses physically located in those areas of the world and > either completely remove ability to place orders for users from those areas > or at least not charge the credit cards on-line for such users until the > orders have been confirmed somehow.
