jonno Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 For nearly the past 10 days, I have had daily signups of the most bizzare accounts. They're accounts that are created, where the packages are randomly picked, and the names are very random. And sometimes the mailing addresses and phone numbers are random too, like someone signed up as the City California, and the state as PQ @_@ Sometimes I'll get one a day, or 4. Is it possible that there are some kind of bot thats doing it? Is there a way, i can put in some kind of registration code, like the randomized letters we see so often? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 do you have Maxmind implemented? That might help... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 do you have Maxmind implemented? That might help... Nope, apparently that is something you have to pay for. Though it is pretty cheap, I would much rather have a random display code added. I think I would benefit from that a lot more then Maxmind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BewareOfButtlice Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I just got my maxmind today. What happens when someone gets a score above the score i put in the setup? Does it go to pending orders and notify the customer that their order cannot be setup due to _____ reason or does it just delete it all together and its nowhere to be seen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

othellotech Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 it cancels the order and marks it as fraud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernis Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 If after manual review a flagged order is found to be legit, can this order be again activated by me in the admin panel or would the client have to resubmit the order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpookedOut Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 This is extremely odd. I have had random accounts being made about 4-5 weeks ago. Maxmind was enabled but still didn't do anything. It has since stoped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redham Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi tracktor, Thanks for the information. Since this is a good selling point maybe Matt will make the information easier to find. redham 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
