I was thinking about introducing triggers into to my software which will be created in PHP that would show up as red flags after an order has been placed if the order meets any of the criteria. So I wanted to open it up in a discussion so that we can all share the practices and hopefully it helps all of us to build in better filters to minimise fraud as much as possible.

Here are mine!

Trigger a warning if

(1)The shipping address is different to the credit card address
(2)Is it an international order
(3)International shipping address
(4)If the order is from X country (Have a table to which it references against a country with a severity
1 = relatively safe
2 = cautious Need to verify name and address before shipping
3 Verify user by phone and also ensure money is in the account using other methods
apart from cheque and CC)
4= Nigeria (Just do not ship!)

What other triggers can people think of?

Obviously the more triggers that an order produces the more careful one would have to be
