Would you mind describing his method of swindling you out of $30K? Surely it wasn't a single transaction... Was it a single credit card? Did he use multiple cards with different names? Or we're they all same name + same address?

he was using many cards with many addresses and billing names. i didn't have a system in place to catch this behavior at the time, and it was totally on me for not having proper countermeasures in place.

iirc there were like 15 different billing addresses and card numbers in a few month period. once i saw that i knew i was going to get fucked on chargebacks.

his fraud scheme was so creative i'm not going to describe it here, for wont of someone decided to imitate it.

I'm not sure whether not describing the swindle method is more like security through obscurity or responsible disclosure. Wouldn't it be it be good to let people know what this guy was doing so we can all protect ourselves against such methods?

Could you describe the countermeasures without giving away the scheme?
