We have had a serious flurry of fradulent donations in the last week, appearing to come from the US and more recently Iran. We've had no problems in the past, but recently launched a new microsite that we think is pulling at least some of these in. We use WorldPay as a transaction agency.
Has anyone else had recent problems along similar lines?
I work in fraud prevention
I work in fraud prevention and we often hear of charities having problems with online fraud. Often a fraudster will steal a card and test that it works by making a donation to a charity first.
If anyone else has similar experiences, I would be interested to hear of them....
RE: Fraudulent donations
Not had it recently, but I'm aware of the issue. Is this the one where they make a donation then ask for it back in cash?
Have you spoken to Worldpay? I'm not currently managing any donation websites directly, but I know that they were keen to know when such attacks occurred, at least when I last dealt with them directly.
Cheers
