Default Re: Fraud - Ship to Country Wrong

I agree with davidmg. We removed the "Country" field from our shopping cart, and made "State" a pulldown, allowing only valid states. Zip code must be 5 numeric digits, etc, so we cannot even get an authorization from a NON-US cardholder.

We provide merchant services, and if I told you how many merchants in this country get ripped off by experts in Indonesia, Eastern Europe, (actually everywhere nowadays), you would turn blue.

If a customer from outside the US wants it badly enough, go to Western Union's website, locate the nearest branch office to the customer, and tell them to go there and wire you the money... BTW- Postal Money Orders / Cashier's checks? How many copies of phony ones would you like to see? Some even good enough to fool the Post Office and/or Bank.
