Maxmind fraud scores? What is yours?


Recommended Posts

I'm very new to Maxmind and I was curious to know what you guys use for your settings to eliminate fraud. We are getting a lot of fraudulent orders and I hope Maxmind will help stop this. I would like to know what you guys use for your settings in WHMCS as I have no clue to use, especially for the fraud scores. Please share your insight on this as i'm interested in what you guys use.

Frankly, I've found that we have to hand-screen most stuff. We still have Maxmind on, and it gives lots of good data, but we don't put in an arbitrary cutoff. I've had orders score a 10 that are valid, and orders score a 2.5 that were fraud.

 

I'm hopeful that when (if) WHMCS integrates the new-style Maxmind scoring (using MaxMind 1.1) that we'll be able to put in a cutoff. The new scores go from 0->100 rather than 0->10, and are supposed to be a lot more accurate.

The maxmind score 7.50 is working really well for us and it’s blocking most the fraudulent orders.

 

We do not use auto account setup, all accounts are manually setup etc… and if we’re in doubt, we normally telephone the customer to verify that they placed the order.
