			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OnVerify is proud to announce several enhancements on sms verification, which is a primarily used to verify mobile phone numbers and users:</p>
<ol>
<li>Standard SMS Verification. OnVerify delivers in a robust, highly available environment. Only bills, &#8220;valid&#8221;, &#8220;live&#8221; phone number verifications. (Why do you pay for wrong mobile numbers?)</li>
<li>Reverse SMS Verification. Add a second step to the verification, not only you check the sms deliverability, but also you complete the verification over user&#8217;s mobile phone.</li>
<li>POP SMS. This is an exciting new service, which pops verification pin on user&#8217;s phone. This SMS is not stored on phone. It&#8217;s single use, and not stored. Very suitable for otp use. All phones supported. Works over GSM networks.</li>
<li>Reverse POP SMS. This service is an extension to POP SMS. Not only it delivers a pop message on the phone, you can also get the pin from the user. Zero cost to the customer. Enhanced and flexible service.</li>
</ol>
<div>Will detail new services on the upcoming blogs, but I would suggest you to test live demo at <a href="http://www.onverify.com/phone-verification-demo">http://www.onverify.com/phone-verification-demo</a></div>

Unsuccessful ones (fraud, chargeback) will tell you the way hacker/scammer works, and add prevention methods to your system.</p>
<p>For example, if you see too much fraud from a country that you see safe, add this country to your fraud monitoring/scoring system. If you see too much from from a phone number, add prefix and type of it. Examples dont stop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are suspicious about  order,  you better call the customer to confirm and cross-check the order. Because either your previous experience or your fraud scoring system alerted you. Sometimes that simple call helps to get rid of a $25 chargeback.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Free e-mail account is very easy to setup than to setup an e-mail address with a company in background together with a web site. There are lots of companies refuse to do business with free e-mails. I do not suggest to completely avoid, but what I say that you must be careful with the orders done with free e-mails. Free e-mail is another positive point to your fraud scoring system.</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that, marking an order for extra check for fraud, depends on your business model. If you target end-users, or let your customers try before buying, your customer may want to try or buy with a free personal e-mail. On the other side, if you explicitly sell to companies, or your products are highly priced, you must watch free e-mails.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AVS is short for Address Verification System, which simply tries to map/match the the address given with the card holder&#8217;s address. This technology by it&#8217;s implementation is a weak one, and cannot be highly regarded due to several reasons: A recent change in address causes negative responses. Service only available in US and a few EU countries.</p>
<p>AVS provides following common results:</p>
<p>A &#8211; The address matched, but the zip code did not. This is for Mastercard, Visa, and AMEX users.<br />
Y &#8211; Address matched, but the zip code did not for a Discover card user.<br />
B &#8211; The street address was a match, but the postal code was in the wrong format for the international user.<br />
C &#8211; The street addresses and postal codes were formatted incorrectly.<br />
D &#8211; The street address and postal code match for an international user.<br />
E &#8211; There was an error.<br />
G &#8211; The service is not supported by a non-US user.<br />
I &#8211; Address information was not verified by the international issuer.<br />
M &#8211; T street address and postal code match for an international user.<br />
N &#8211; There is no match for the zip code or the address.<br />
O &#8211; No Response was sent.<br />
P &#8211; While the postal codes match, the street addresses cannot be verified due to inconsistencies in the formats.<br />
R &#8211; You should retry. The system is temporarily unavailable or has timed out.<br />
S &#8211; The server is not supported by the user.<br />
U &#8211; The address information is unavailable.<br />
W &#8211; The nine digit zip code matches, but the address does not.<br />
X &#8211; This is an exact match.<br />
Y &#8211; Both the address and the zip code match.<br />
Z &#8211; The five-digit zip code matches, but the address does not.<br />
0 &#8211; There is no response.</p>
<p>Unless your customer base is not US only, do not use AVS. Just IP to county/city mapping will bring more information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BIN is short for Bank Identification Number. It&#8217;s the first 6 digits of the credit card. BIN (first 6 digits) maps to a bank.</p>
<p>A BIN database provides the merchant with information about the issuing bank such as the country it is located in, the customer&#8217;s billing address and other helpful information. The merchant can use this information as a factor in deciding whether or not to approve a transaction. If a card&#8217;s BIN is not found in the database, the merchant can decline the transaction to avoid fraudulent activity.</p>
<p>Many online merchants also use BIN databases to determine what type of card is being used to pay for a transaction, such as a credit, debt, or prepaid card. The reason for this is that prepaid cards have a higher rate of fraud. Many merchants use a prepaid flag that will alert them when the card is prepaid so they can either inspect it more closely or simply reject it to be safe. Putting such practices into place can significantly reduce a merchant&#8217;s risk of loss from fraud.</p>
<p>Following information can be cross-checked and can add scoring :</p>
<ol>
<li>Customer&#8217;s country and Bank&#8217;s country will most probably match. A mismatch may be flagged</li>
<li>Prepaid cards can be flagged.</li>
</ol>
<p>One of the most notable database is available at: www.binbase.com</p>
