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

We're not going to block proxies at all. The intention is not
to block them but rather identify them. If someone that appears
to be using Comcast in San Diego shows to be a proxy, then the
chances of the transaction being fraud go from 2% to 99%. The
point is not to block - but identify suspicious transactions.

If we get an order from a university, we'll give it more
scrutiny, but not necessarily block it.
