[asterisk-biz] FRAUD: BE AWARE

[Nitzan Kon]

Funny. I got a guy from Palestine too today. They tried to use a stolen credit card from one Donald Boltz.

The real Donald has been notified (called him).

Beware of a guy who signs up by "tom mart" - he tried to use multiple stolen PayPal accounts and credit cards. Changes email every time so it's pointless to track email addresses.

Rule of thumb - if anyone makes payments using an American account/address/credit card and their IP is anywhere in the Middle East except Israel - it is almost 100% fraud.

Having said that - we still allow auto PayPal payments. You just have to follow up and verify each and every account afterwards. And don't allow large amounts automatically via PayPal!
