A company called shattered crystal deals with virtual items (legit ones) and do the following for security. They require first time buyers to give their phone number, then they call the buyer up and asks some questions like what's the nearer hospital or name some schools nearby. If you didn't want to do this you could just call them on their house phone and trust they're not using any forwarding service.
Sadly, nothing can be done against scammers using credit cards, and you could get hit months later. I will have a look on the internet for the information, but using these methods I think shattered crystals fraud was only around 2% of their profit.
It comes down to a few different factors. It can depend on what you're selling. I don't know your product, but if you're selling, for example, games you may see a difference in the types of games. If you're selling products for a game that has loads of younger people playing, then you can expect to get messaged around more than a game with a more mature audience. Sadly, some older people are far from mature, but luckily more of them are compared to teenagers.
People can moan about "racism" and other things, but certain countries with certain hypocritical beliefs should just be blocked from purchasing. Certain Arabian countries can be trusted like UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, however others definitely cannot; Egypt, Algeria, Syria etc have high amounts of fraud. I also wouldn't deal with countries like Turkey, but luckily many of these countries have been banned from using Paypal. Why? because of this very reason, high fraudulent activity. |
