Are your sales up? Check for fraud!
 

With the recent Target hack I think anyone experiencing better than average sales should do a quick review and make sure its not too good to be true.

I myself just spotted an affiliate account with a 1:2 ratio and of course took a closer look. Fortunately this scammer left a very identifiable footprint and I was able to quickly determine that all 40 transactions needed to be refunded immediately.

So my bank account is $1,000 lighter but hopefully I avoided a significant number of chargebacks.

Perhaps share the payment info so we can cross check?

1000$ ligther?That means you had to pay each refund 25$ or you just calculated this as loss what you expected to be gain?

Trial joins with some conversions. Total was 970 or so. Average 25 per trans. more or less. Yes I literally refunded all that money today, one transaction at a time and cancelled each membership one by one in the Netbilling gateway.

Unfortunately I don't have much that could be useful, this is a Filipino, most programs don't trust Filipino affiliates in the first place. I allow them but I keep a close eye. This guy got past me for a week because of the holidays, and because of my New Year's resolution to smoke a lot more weed in 2014.

What I do have is:
Name: William Agarwal
IP address 103.14.63.172
user: Belowtheground

Seems he has access to a botnet, all user IP's seemed legit, residential connections in the correct geography. (I force the billing address to match in my fraud controls)

Well it's something to check on, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up!

thanks for the info
