Today I have received an order from someone using marketscore.com I review the ip of every order to look if it was from Indonesia,and other high risk countries but if someone is using marketscore the ip is from marketscore.
So what other I need to look to see if is a fraud or not.
The order look suspicious but I'm not 100% sure.

I have had 5 orders this week turn out to be using cc with account info from the usa and I tracked the ips to Indonesia and one in bangcock of all places.

The one guy tried 2 difffrent cards and a checking account.

There has to be something done about this, I use to get 1 a month now I'm getting 4 or 5 a week.

I believe marketscore.com installs and uses a proxy on the user's machine to make it run faster.

They have an affiliate program that used to be on Commision Junction.com and I used to promote them until I heard the horror stories of people not being able to uninstall it and how they were getting hit with spam and adult ads a lot of the times from like instant messenger accounts

So there are a lot of people who are using this service and I think they are all from the same proxy ip range probably

marketscore used to be netsetter.com. They provide proxy server in exchange for gathering surfing pattern.
