Dealing with CC fraud orders

[SohaibT]

How do you deal with fraud orders that come through your account, especially with incentive websites, I've launched an incentive website a couple of days ago, got some fraud orders and now having trouble with Maxbounty because of that, we as incentive website owners cant ask for credit cards to check if they are valid or not, has anyone here faced a similar issue?

Thanks

how much fraud orders was that? let me guess. 100%?

welcome to the wonderful world of incentivized offers that payback cash. that is, why you should rather offer buy 1 and get 2 or similar as an incentive but no cash. that is just luring the guys from malaysia and romania out of their hidings.

i have no real clue, but for me, this incentivized cash-payback-game is for the biggies and pro's who can setup their own whitelabelled purchase-processing. go with something more mainstream the first times.

jesus fucking christ.

have you made yourself ANY idea ahead before realizing this obviously not-so-formidable business idea of yours?

have you read any article about it, made some market research, drew some alternate scenarios, pinned down the risk/reward profile of your idea (which is even not your idea to begin with, as a couple hundreds if not thousand sites do this already)?

or has all that motivated has been the idea to make some good cash online by doing something that obviously works so great for others and where all of us others were stupid enough not to see the potential of this idea but to leave all the market open for you to fill the gap?

seriously. get original suhaib. if you cannot come up with any idea of your own on how to follow up on a business model but expect the cookie cutter method you are just prey for the ebook sellers, but no entrepreneur.

you don't qualify to be named as an entrepreneur just because you want money so badly. being an entrepreneur means, to be able to come up with a business model of your own.

so stop asking stupid questions, like i would know what would drive your business onwards from this point on but take responsibility and decide on your own. and if you can't decide, then dig it.

i hope you get the idea. i am not mad at you, i just want to save you a lot of trouble. maybe you should consider quitting this business at all.

wow, I sure am glad I didn't ask you for advise 3 years ago when I 1st started on the web, do you really think I don't know that incentive websites have been online for a long time? do you honestly think those 1000's of incentive websites out there have reached the full population of people surfing the internet? There is always room for someone new to come in, with a new marketing idea to reach those people, in case you didn't know, hundreds of thousands join the internet each year, so I guess the point I am trying to say is there is always room for new websites, especially if you can market this website to reach people who the other 1000's of incentive websites failed to reach.

I don't know where all of that i don't qualify to be named an entrepreneur came from, I never claimed to be one in the 1st place, besides, the incentive website is one project that I started, not an original idea, i know, but i do have original marketing ideas. And I do have other ideas that I am working on developing with others to promote CPA offers, and I can tell you this, the idea has never been done online (yes i did my research) if i never started this incentive website I would have never found out about the issues related to CC fraud and how networks deal with it.

I am new to affiliate marketing, this is my 1st try at it, and everyone makes mistakes (not sure where is the mistake in trying out an incentive website) if your contribution to this forum is to tell me to quit, then just say so in 1 word.
