MaxMind - Distance from IP address to Address

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Last month we began receiving fraud orders through our WHMCS and they all exhibit the same issue - large distances from the IP address to the billing address. MaxMind's scoring system is outputting a risk score of 1.05 for a distance of 2,098 miles, which is ridiculous considering a risk score of 2.50 is assessed to free email addresses. I would rather those two numbers be reversed, but that really isn't the request of this forum topic.

 

What I'm curious about is whether or not it is possible to reject an order if it is placed over "x" miles from the billing address. I've already searched through the forums and haven't found any similar posts, which either tells me this is really simple or absolutely impossible. I'm just surprised it isn't built in already, since you can reject an order through the API for a free email which a large percentage of our customers tend to use.
