Warning to other CCBill users

I was just looking over my stats today and noticed a returned online check. What struck me odd is the fact that I have not offered the online checking option in at least 2 years. I removed the online checking option since 1/3 of them are fraud and I got sick of the easy access thieves were getting.

So I look up the transaction number thinking this guy has been recurring for the last few years, and oddly enough, he just joined July 23 2005. Thinking I fucked up, I go to my site to see if I still had the checking option up and confirmed I didn’t. So I am at a loss since this sub account has been in use for 2 years or so and never had the online check option to this sub account posted on my site.

So I call CCBill and explain the situation, and after a few minutes the CCBill tech asked if I had an affiliate program (Different sub account) and anything else, and I explain that is sub account is used ONLY for our main site so I can track them.

He is at a loss to explain what happen.

So I ask to make sure all online checking options on all my sub accounts are removed, and I know there are people out there who, like us, removed the linking to the online CCBill check options from their sites, but as this proves, you need to have CCBill remove the access as well.

And it just dawned on me as I was writing this on how this was done, all he has to do is look at the source on the join page and copy and past the join buttons and replace the “cc” with “ck” so from what I can see the only way to make sure this doesn’t happen is have CCBill remove the online checking option if you do not want it to be used.
