rodeoXtreme Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I am not sure if this is appoved or not, but our Security Team discovered 2 accounts that were purchased from us yesterday from the same IP Address are actually spammers. Plus, they have used a paypal account with the that users information but their own email account. We normally do not receive these kind of orders since MAXMIND catches them during the order process. We are compiling these IP addresses and have also contacted our local Law Enforcement to file a criminal complaint for internet spamming (although there is not much that can be done). I have also blocked their ip address from our servers; but I thought I would also post their IP address here to inform other WHMCS Users to watch out for them. Thankfully, our Security team reviews each order and we also wait for 12 hours and look at the files they upload - we caught these guys and notified PayPal. Here is the latest IP Address: 69.74.29.131 I hope this is not offensive or wrong by informing others of these type of people. Our company takes a very proactive approach to spammers and other fraudsters - if they are found, we will pursue a conviction to the max. We have been pleased that we caught a fraudster a year ago and now he is in jail serving a 2 year prison sentence. We feel it is as much as our duty to protect not only our servers and customers but the entire internet that visits our Customers websites. If this information is something that is useful, I have no problem letting others know about these kind of people. Regards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinbase Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 This guy tried to signup last week, might be the same one. Name: Ricardo Perez IP Address: 71.183.230.163 Host: pool-71-183-230-163.nycmny.fios.verizon.net Domain he hosts: trafficmonster.com He'll rise a Paypal dispute and will get the money back soon you suspend him. Make sure you double check with the Paypal orders especially under $20. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
