Re: [asterisk-biz] Fraud. (here we go again)

Google Checkout (while not a traditional payment gateway) actually
has pretty decent fraud controls. The reason we caught the Vietnam
guy (and found his other accounts) is that two of his attempts via
Google Checkout were rejected by Google as fraud.

PayPal sucks to infinity in this regard - no fraud protection at all.
