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

All of the payment gateway's fraud detection features suck. We use Bank of America's gateway and best it will do is an address check. But most scammers have all that info anyway.

I've found MinFraud better at stopping fraud and giving me details to determine after the fact if an account is fraudulent than Paypal's FPS ever did. Your post would be infinitely more useful if you could provide some detail about this vaporware service...
