I have an online business selling valuable items. I have someone who keeps trying to buy something on my website with what I believe are stolen credit cards. Why do I believe that?

  1. Delivery address is a private mail box company
  2. Billing Zip code doesn't match ship address, no billing address given
  3. Email address is an Israeli provider (013 Netvision)
  4. Order placed from an Tel Aviv IP address
  5. Tried twice, different credit cards each time
  6. Phone number is fake, belongs to someone in a different state

I do not sell internationally and that is spelled out on the website . I do not accept credit cards or Paypal accounts based outside the country. I have already blocked the IP address he is using.

If I did accept the order the risk is reversal and I lose the item and the money.

This is for sure not a new thing, but the first time it happened to me and I have been in business for 17 years.
