DirectShop Solutions has released a Magento Module that utilizes the MaxMind fraud detection service. I had written an interface with MaxMind with X-Cart awhile back and the service alone was well worth it, I was able to detect fraudulent orders a lot easier than before. Using a number of factors from free email services, IP to country/state compared to billing and shipping addresses, proxy detection and more. All with a simple rating score that can help anyone prevent fraudulent orders and cut down on charge backs, which can really hurt in the long run. As this was the main reason I set out to write one for X-Cart was I had been selling E-Goods and had gotten a large number of fraudulent orders ultimately causing my processor to increase my fee’s since I was considered more of a high risk. Its defiantly worth checking out!
