Damn shame to hear about this Bemmu -- would've felt like a massive punch to your guts!
Maybe you should set yourself up some email alerts when things seem 'off'. i.e. no referral, and the user/bot spends no time filling out the form and hitting submit. What's your glue code like?
I'm rootin' for ya. :-)
- bemmu 11y agoHey veb, This fraud would have been easy to detect if there had been any kind of detection system in place. But I had no fraud checking, captcha or 3-D secure, as I hadn't expected there to such a "fraud wave". Those payments didn't feel like necessarily coming from a bot, as there were time delays and for many purchases they even filled in the questionnaire. It felt more like someone had a pile of numbers they were entering manually. My form made that easy to do, as I had tried to eliminate any field which wasn't absolutely necessary.
- unclebucknasty 11y ago>...they were entering manually Definitely wouldn't discount that possibility. Unrelated to CC processing, but we used a service that gave us a device ID on signups to detect people signing up multiple times (a tipoff that fraud was likely to come). We later found fraudsters were using Amazon's Mechanical Turk to get real people to register manually, thus getting around our device detection.
