Default Fraud - Ship to Country Wrong

Have seen a couple of orders come through which were fraudulent. Figured I would post here so that other members can see the pattern.

On my system, I specifically block countries known for fraud.

One order had a US billing address and a ship to with a Malaysian address, indicating the country as 'Iceland' -- the second order had a Vietnamese shipping address with a country listed as Japan -- a third listed Singapore when the address was in Malaysia.

Apparently from what I have read, the postal organizations in these countries are apparently diligent enough that if they see a package like this they will actually forward it to the real country (?)

Santa may check his list twice, and we would be wise to do the same. In a holiday of gift giving where different a different 'ship to' address is common, make sure to take the time to give some scrutiny to foreign orders and gift orders.
