Subject: OT: Fake online orders--how common are they?
For people that run e-commerce sites, how common is it to get fake online
orders? We get a ton of orders with details like
First Name: a
Last Name: b
E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
etc.
Which of course don't go through. They're all from different IP's and the
user is entering a semi-valid credit card number (at least valid according
to the mathematical validation--not valid in that the bank rejects it as an
invalid account).
Do others get a lot of these orders (we get more of these than real orders,
and we have plenty of real orders)? Why do people do junk like this? Are
there actually e-commerce sites out there that can be hacked like this
(seems impossible since I assume everyone is charging credit cards in
real-time)?
Thanks,
Sam
