Hey - I have an idea - anyone interested in sharing a database of known fraud suspects? We had our share of Indonesian, Romanian and other kids with 10 year registrations which turned out to be fraud... I know it is an extra labor, but I would not mind chiping in the time to put together something like a searchable database by cc#, name used. email used and IP address -
I believe these folks make rounds so if they do not succeed at one site they go next door... so especially with suspect multi year regs we'd all have one extra reference point We are not using scoring service, our payment processor utilizes CCV and AVS plus we get either success or BADCARD notification via email on every transaction - so if we see slew of BADCARD attempts for the same domain with STOLEN / CALL reason it is a clear sign ALSO we implemented CCV and since then even attempts to use stolen cards on our site reduced about 90% Genie > Is anybody using one of the neural/fraud-scoring services by the > gateways?
