SickPuppy Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Over the past week we have received over $1000 in fraudulent orders. The orders are passing the Credit Card Processing company’s fraud detection. However, we noticed that all of the IP addresses for the orders originated in Tijuana Mexico and all of email addresses were hotmail accounts. As a policy we call and verify all quarterly, semiannual, and annual orders. The phone numbers for each order were different but they all were forwarded to the same voice mail service. You can contact me for additional details I can provide names and email address information on the orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan M Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Just report them to the appropriate authorities with IP addresses of the signups along with the telephone numbers and full addresses they provided on signup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proclan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Good luck getting anything done in Mexico. Try reporting it to a US bank, it will take you a week to get in touch with there abuse department and then they will just tell you to refund the money and delete the account.

"We don't need the ip address or anything as we receive 100's of fraud claims each week" I was going under the assumption that the bank and client were both overseas in which case your pretty much screwed on getting anything accomplished.

Defcon|Rich Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Sickpuppy. This wouldn't happen to be the ip would it? 201.160.152.254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon|Rich Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 FYI. This has been confirmed. This guy tried ordering from us a few hours ago as well so everyone might want to double check any orders originating from Mexico for the time being.

GSP's who don't review orders and have autosetup without accepting the orders are likely to be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
