Checks only work for U.S. ip ranges, so they would have to get on a U.S. Ip. Or actually be an American, defrauding, on an easy to track ip, which I'm not worried about.

You can get lists of known proxies, I'm sure people sell them like they do geoip db's. If you are tracking returns, and this was going on, it wouldn't take long to figure out the IP ranges, hosts, areas, ect that are allowing this to happen and just block the IP's directly.
