Strange Sales. Has this Ever Happened to You?

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by Masterful, Oct 21, 2009.

    For the past three days, I've been making strange sales. When I look at my transactions, I see customer names like Discover Card, American Express and Master Card. In other words, in place of customer names, I see names of credit cards, as if the customers have been using the names of cards in place of their real names when placing orders.

    Is this some kind of mistake or something? It's happened three times in three days. Two of the orders were from separate U.S. states, and one of the orders was from Canada, so it can't be the same person.

    Are these fraudulent transactions?

    Very unusual – I have never experienced something like this in the past. It is good to share the issues like this one. Have you checked with your bank? What they say about these transactions?

    I've had these a few times. Likely stolen CC #s with some smart ass behind them.

    Strange, I doubt their stolen credit cards, people who steal credit cards will probably use the name on the card so as not to draw further attention to the transaction

    Do anything to draw less attention is like the criminals number 1 rule

    ClickBank just got back to me about this problem.

    Apparently, it's a common mistake that customers make. The order form asks for 'Name on Card', so customers often enter the name of their card!

    What ClickBank didn't say is if the sales are valid.

    Will they count as valid transactions, or will they be deducted? Anyone know?
