We were going to do this awhile back...


Pennywize -

Looks great.

one thing you could do is have a white/black list databases of the surfers.

This will avoid having to have a surfer who has already confirmed their identity from having to do it again within X period of time. (ie.. maybe give them 3 months on the whitelist before forcing them to confirm again)

You can let your clients (Webmasters) report #'s of their members for the blacklist of people who conducted chargebacks.

There are lots of ways you could handle the blacklist, I would probably just make it if the person did > 2 chargebacks in < X period of time, they they would be permanently blacklisted from getting ccess.

But using a white list will keep an already verified user who signs up for a new site every few days from having to re-confirm each time.

It is a bit of an annoying hasstle for a surfer to have to drop what they are doing and make a call -- and once you have confirmed them, you probably don't need to do it any more frequently than every 90 days (in case they move)


IMO, telephone authentication systems like this will put HUGE dents in chargeback and fraud. They will even make checks a viable option.


To EscortBiz for bringing the idea to GFY
