Ok, here's the deal.

I have a person who keeps submitting stolen credit cards, trying to get me to activate accounts for him/her. The person has attempted this 12 times in the last month, but luckily i have noticed similarities in his order every time and don't activate the account. He uses a different credit card each time(all valid cards) and uses all valid information in the address, name, city sections of the form. It doesn't cost me anything, cause i don't activate the accounts, but its' just really annoying. I track IP's, but he's bouncing them off different ISP's in paris, moscow, and egypt so i can't pinpoint him. The credit card companies accually don't care much, and so i'm just left with this annoying person. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i can do, or is it just something i have to deal with? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks,

When he does it next, tell him that you've sold all your clients to <insert name of design stealing host> and he needs to sign up there.

See if you can track and contact the owners of the CC's. They might complain to their bank and that might have effect.

Or next time make him believe that you have setup an account (he thinks he wins) and never reply to his support e-mails :D

LOL, Damm Chicken, you are the meanest roster in the coop. I'd have to get on your side.

Uhhhhh...... No names please.

*glares at Chicken and reminds himself to pull Chicken into line by rationing his supply of :beer: *

Matt, I seem to recall a number of previous threads where similar instances were reported... Not sure if they match up with your case though.

Noooooo names! Noooooo names! That was a self-fill in the blank. Also could send the person to <insert unlimted everything host>.
