I though about that but I get donations from many countries... even places I never heard of. I never got a donation from Vietnam but I did get a real one from nigeria! Luckily, we do not send out merchandise.. so there is no incentive for bad people to scam me... who would go through all of that trouble to make a donation?
They were just going through a list of credit cards to see which ones were still valid... I will change it so that no one person can make multiple donations from different names At 04:08 PM 8/23/2012, you wrote: >Al, > >How about use a geo location library to get the country?
