ClearCommerce says it has seen the fraud sporadically over the past few months, but that five large merchants have reported it in the last week. "It is now above the noise level and is what we consider an emerging scheme," says Julie Fergerson, co-founder and vice president of Emerging Technologies.

Good info!

Merchants should also beware of international address shenanigans: the order will be from a "safe" country, say Japan, but the address is clearly from another country (where you don't ship to). The post office will correct the error, and route the package anyhow.

Result - you'll get a chargeback a couple of months later.
