What does everyone do about the mailing list spammers who are using stolen funds? I get from 10-15 'clients' everyday that are using stolen funds. Some of them are bold enough to keep a text file on the account with the usernames and passwords of the paypal people they hacked.
What do you do to discourage people from thinking your host is easy to rip off? We usually suspend the accounts before they can do anything much but it is still a big problem. These idiots(I'll put it nicely) keep increasing everyday to so I am wondering if my site got listed on a warez/hack an crack site.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I can disable mailing list feature so they can't send spam or illegal emails to people but they won't know that and they will keep registering. Also does paypal watch accounts that get lots of fraudulent funds?
Thanks, Randy

What i would do is state in your terms that anyone found too be using your servers for scams and illegal activity will automatically have thier personal info handed over the company they are ripping off, in this case paypal.

Then when you find people doing it suspend thier account and send thier info to paypal.

10-15 clients per day!?! We get maybe 1-2 / month.

We have a number of things in place to prevent this. First we use Fraud Gaurdian (FG) to screen all incoming orders. It took us a little while to configure it just right, but it works great. If FG returns a 0 risk fraud score, the order passes through and the account is created automaticly. If FG returns a low-med risk score, then the order is put on hold and we manually screen it by calling the customer and doing normal fraud checks. If FG returns a high risk score, the order is automaticly denied.

If you feel in your gut that an order looks suspiscious, call them. 9 times out of 10 you'll catch the fraud orders at this point.

St0x: These guys may be idiots but they don't usually give their personal info. Garbled letters sums up most of their personal info in general.
