Scam - Bunches of orders coming in with small amounts - all Frauds

[trish11679]

Is anyone else having issues with what seems like a BOT placing orders all with different IP addresses, names, and billing addresses - I can't seem to pin point any information but it's on orders that are $5.00 or less.

I've reached out to our fraud app, they can't help us- I have tried to reach out to Shopify.

I have reached out to the credit card company and Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

No one has been able to help me.

I'm curious if any one else in the Shopify community is having the same issues.

They're doing this to essentially determine if their stolen credit card works or not. 

If possible, remove any item under that $5 threshold or increase the price and discount it on the backend, and then display it at the original price on the front-end using code.
