mrtechnik Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Hi, I have started getting loads of foreign orders that use a non-existent email address. I do not advertise outside the UK and this is really getting to me. What can I do to avoid these fraudulent and spammy orders that are being made? What do others do to prevent this? Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 In your settings: "Request users to confirm their email address on signup or change of email address" Also set up fraud checking, and never autoprovision accounts, except maybe for existing clients. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your suggestion, @bear. I have enabled the confirm email address option, but I wish it had a choice to force this. I may look to see if I can customise the client area template to remove everything and display a message to force users to verify their account. I have also since set up Fraud Protection using FraudLabs. I hope they are good. I have also made sure that auto-provision is disabled for everything! Because I mainly operate in the UK I have restricted my site so that it does not work for customers outside of the UK. I am hoping that this will help too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
