Unfortunately, it's a fact in this industry - hopefully you knew the orders were fraud before you activated them. :)

That proves that a good research before you place an order is a MUST these days.

There is a load of companies out there both known and unknown, you have to do your homework first.

It's summer, what do you expect?

I get a lot of my fraud orders coming in on a daily basis during the summer. Mostly during the winter/spring seasons I do not see the fraud orders nearly as often.

MaxMind detects most fraud for AH. I go behind it and manually screen every order, but we still get the occasional spammer.

It's a fact of life nowadays, I get an awful lot of fraud orders but almost all of them are spotted by maxmind or by myself before they are activated.

We are having a similar case and I have experienced the same!

I remember my first order was also fraud when I started, I recall quit a few other hosts also sharing the experience.

You're not alone ;)

All of my orders for about the first 2 or 3 weeks were all fraud. Not sure why spammers seem to hit NEW web hosts so hard??? I wouldn't even know how to search for brand new web hosts efficiently :)

Come to think of it, my first two orders were marked as fraud.

Our first orders were spammers - it's something you get used to. :)
