you don't need the FBI, Homeland Security does all the CC fraud of any amount. Just have your company attorney contact their CC fraud department with the IPs and CC info and they'll investigate it, but you'd better do all the leg work yourself trying to get as much info on the person(s), like tell them you need to Fedex them cash, etc and get their mailing address, tell them you need to talk to them on the phone, etc. BAIT THEM and play stupid and tell them you really like their sales and want to pay them MORE. They already think they are geniuses so they'll fall for everything.

I had some kid working at a university bookstore collect foreign exchange students CCs and ring up 13k on my cam site. (it was a long long time ago) we had the cam girl he was addicted to get him to call her and gave all the info to homeland and I still get restitution checks from the little fucker.

Homeland Security said CC Fraud is their bread and butter. Everyone needs to put their tax$ to work for them in the USA and prosecute every bastard out there and then put the story on your affiliate join page.

The other side to this equation is that you could just pay these dudes to do the same thing to your competition and it'd blow all their merchant accounts and put them out of business so HOW SHOULD THIS BE OUR PROBLEM? As merchants we should have a minimum set of requirements avs/cv2/ip check that we should have to adhere to and the rest should be Visa/MC/Banks problem and not ours, after all we're expected to accept plastic like its paper and pay for the privileged of doing so. The US Government needs to create electronic $ asap that doesn't discriminate against legit businesses.
