Last week I had a signup from Phillipines. This person was paypal verified, although an unconfirmed address. The email was not an asian name - something like joebloggs@hotmai.com (western name)

I checked their domain name and was just registered under another western name, with an address in UK.

Is this order fraud? Should I notify the person who appears on the domain name?

I seek your feedback.

how come verified and unconfirmed address?

but if the signup was from philipines and address in UK it would look fishy

That order definitely merits further investigation. Are you able to verify a phone # for the person? I'd ask them to confirm those details and then validate them separately as something isn't making sense.

Isn't verified where Paypal just deposits a little money into a checking account, but the address is where they have actually verified it thru the credit card? If the person does not have a CC, that might be why it is unconfirmed.
