It wouldn't have helped you here. "Shannon" is both a man's and a woman's name. Would CCBill want to turn down customers who happen to be named Kim or Evelyn? Kim Dotcom wouldn't be able to sign up, though he's a man, but neither would Evelyn Waugh (dead anyway) a famous British male author.

Add this to the fact that some Web sites, like mine, are popular among women. My site is softcore, with only women -- a penis free zone. It's true that some of the chargebacks I've gotten are with cardholders with obviously female names, the majority are still male names.

CCBill has fraud *score* filters where it'll reject signup attempts based on a variety of elements, not just one. Geo distance irregularities is only one element. Would you deny the poor soldier coming in on an Iraq or Germany or Japan IP even though he uses his hometown address for this credit card?

The fraudsters know they can sign up through a newly listed proxy, then access your site from their own IP where they have better bandwidth. So it really does have to come down to your site and server tools providing the extra fraud detection.

Most fraudulent signups eventually result in shared passwords. That's one thing you can look for as a clue. if you catch it early enough you might still be able to void the transaction (prior to CCbill settling the batch), and certainly stop it before it rebills.
