Stripe Fraud Attempts- puzzled

[DSLiverpool]

Fraud card attempts on my club site are at an all time high / see pic.

Now if I was selling anything tangible I’d understand but this is access to videos & guides etc.

Are the doing it to see if a card gets accepted?

How do I stop it?

Yup. Testing cards to see if they are blocked. Used to get this 20 years ago!

You could try blocking the IPs if they are coming from abroad? Dont know how much back end access you have to the system?

I’ll ask one of the velstar techies - ta

Twice as desperate, but 50 attempts a day all blocked is such a pita.

What I found (back then) is once you start blocking whoever it is they quickly get bored of trying and find someone else to annoy. Sometimes they come back with a new IP but eventually they stop when the process keeps failing. Often its a script running on a machine somewhere having thousands of card details imported to it, with a bit of code to fire into your forms. Massive headache I sympathise with you.

I had this recently, 30,000 attempts over a 2 day period. We managed to stop it by blocking the ip. We also put recapcha on the checkout and put rate limiting in place so a certain page can only be used so many times before it doesn’t work any more. Seems to have worked but caused us all sorts of problems.
