to help prevent this, you have have your clients fax in a (Credit Card Authorization Form) for anything over $20.
New client will hate this, but will block out fraud orders

Looks like we got one a week or so ago, for our Australian hosting service. Used a USA address, @gmail.com email, and a who knows where from credit card to pay a year in advance.
Turns out it was a 23 year old kid from Ha dong in Vietnam. We easily found his real name, address, phone, as well as his various email addresses and domains registered to him. Got the little so-and-so's photo too! The idiot put it on our server along with a bunch of scantily clad girlie pics of his friends, an html containing a link to and VBscript code to run love.exe virus from one of his domains. He also left a copy of love.exe on our server.
Not sure if I should just pull the plug on him, report him or send him a friendly postcard!!
Do you reckon we'd get a reward from Visa for dobbing him in?

Do you mean like an automated system that calls new sign-ups and give them an auth code or something? The people that sold me my SSL certs do that and it sounds like a good solution if you can get it to work.
I'm still going to manualy vet all my orders though, too much risk not to.

Pretty much it. If you start looking around the billing system and the fraud software that is integrated into the system you will pretty much get a better idea of how it works.
