Edited out image of payments and IP address of offender. It appears to be static so may link to someone (from Venezuela).

 

This is a home IP and links to @Ricardo Leon.

@Ricardo Leon Care to elaborate here?

 

I have no idea what u talking about..

 

I didnt sent any money thro Credit card, there is a mistake. I dont have any credit card either.. You talking with wrong guy..

 

How can my IP address be related to this?.. i did not sent any fraudulent money... There is a big mistake here...

 

This is being looked into. Please avoid spamming the thread for now.

 

I pulled the IP address directly from the attempted payments, there was no mistake. Someone from that IP address attempted to make 10 fraudulent payments to my website.

If it was you or not is unknown to me, that’s why I posted here.

 

Talked to @Ricardo Leon in discord for a while. He tried to explain his internet connection to me and stated it was “an antenna that provides internet from like 10 miles away.” If this is the case, and it acts like a mobile hotspot or cellular network, he might be innocent.

As I’ve had a similar issue myself in the past, if there’s no definite proof it was him I’m happy if you close this since I lost no money.

 

I'm suscribed to what it suppose to be a private internet provider company, so they provide me the service throught a long distance antenna... If there is any good idea to avoid this kind of situations for future it'd be nice to know it.. Most of people i commented that this happened to me said they were also affected in past for actions they were accused of, being innocents of course, so now i realize this is not new..

 

That IP was used 2 years ago and you haven't used it since, so we're going to give the benefit of the doubt here and assume it wasn't you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
