    How to spot fraudulent joins?

    I checked this guy's address just a second ago, cause it looked kinda funny. The street name is the same as the city. Username is his state.

    Seems odd. And, it's an ACH transaction. Should I cancel him?

      Check the IP. If it's Russian, you got duped.
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                          Well, the IP address checks out. Matched perfectly with the city he stated. Only thing that looks funny is the street name, which Google Maps wouldn't find. Hmmmm...

                                  It's not uncommon for a street to have the same name as the town. And if you're going to put your faith in Google's maps then you need to check on just how accurate those things really are.

                                  You obviously use a processor so leave it up to them to do their part of the business otherwise you will be owning a dog and barking yourself.

                                      If it's a check and it's a first time join, with obvious fake info... cancel the account. Most of my fraud checks come from FL and TX

                                          Change his password. If it is a legit signup he will probably email you and ask wtf...
