To Catch A Thief

[JEFF_H]

The customer that contacted me about this said he also had packages sent to him from Motosport and Sprocket Specialties.
So he's buying stealing from other online resellers as well.
i noticed some DP jackets too, so i called a couple of the big online dealers (proitalia, commoto, etc) to give them a heads-up as well.

We didnt get any over the weekend...so i thought they might be done....but one just came in.
IP addresses trace all over the US, so that is no help

thanks for your help, ya'll

There are entire groups within criminal organizations which are dedicated to mapping out bank security processes with databases full of stolen credit card numbers to try them against.  The first few digits of your credit card number will identify the card issuer and the bank who issued the credit card to you, which allows them to define the security practices of individual banking organizations.  Dedicated criminal organizations will try buying things and see what it takes for the card to finally get shut down.  I know from my experience that I can take my card internationally without any notice and that isn't enough to trigger the fraud alerts, but if I buy a dozen apps on the Google market and then renew a domain name for 10 years that that will trigger a fraud alert.

Yep, hotel bill in Arizona questioned, but not plane tickets to various points is Eastern Europe.  Don't count on it.
