There are but think more deeply about it. If someone uses a vacant house as a drop and then someone moves in, should the new owners / tenants be penalized? What about mailbox services with a shared address? I personally use a UPS Store for all my mail. If it was blacklisted I wouldn't be able to order anything online.
- mojuba 12y agoOf course it would be just as problematic as blacklisting IPs, if not worse. But at least it is something. First of all, you don't block the order if billing and shipping addresses are the same, even if blacklisted. Another important thing would be, an address is blacklisted only in the case of a proven fraud, not just suspected. Next, apartment/house sharing would be problematic for the tenants, well then co-habitants or the landlord will have a good reason to throw the fraudster out.

And even if it were proven, it would still not be a straightforward task to deal with such people. The aggressive self-righteousness described in the article is very typical of criminal types. This makes them very convincing at playing the victim when they are challenged. They can very easily turn the tables on you, even to the point where you are the one facing sanctions, and even paying compensation.
