Is anybody else getting an upsurge of fradulent orders from Vietnam

We have a massive upsurge of fraudulent orders from Vietnam

In the past few months, we have been experiencing a massive upsurge of fraudulent orders from Vietnam so that they are now 5 times more than the rest of the world put altogether. This includes Nigeria and Indonesia.

We are now getting a several everyday and completely are fed-up at this situation. I am thinking of whether we could block ips from Vietnam from accessing our site altogether.

I have a site without cc processing setup yet however it appears to users to be functional (accidental pickup by se's before it was ready) Have disabled it now until cc system is setup.

Anyway - Yeh its been disturbing me that several attempted purchases have been for vietnam delivery with US credit card address's.

Its sort of made me think twice about continuing with the whole site due to high rate of obvious fraud attempts.

We have noticed a big upswing in orders from VietNam. Not sure why this has happened all of a sudden.

Very annoying at the least.

At the end of the day it is a shame as it is simply another country that will end up being blocked from being able to order from most sites, like Malaysia, Indonesia and Nigeria are.

Curious as to what others are doing about this sort of thing. We block a lot of IP ranges now.

Thanks,
