This is the official support thread for:

MaxMind Fraud Detection Service v3.0

This will allow the the owner to query the MaxMind servers to place a risk score with credit card transactions.

What is minFraud? minFraud is an online fraud detection service that reduces chargebacks by identifying risky orders to be held for further review. minFraud identifies whether an online transaction comes from an anonymizing proxy, high risk IP address or email. minFraud is used to scrub online e-commerce transactions, affiliate referrals, surveys, account logins and signups.

This version supports a boatload of the newer features. I decided to start a new thread due to the age of the first one. Let me know what you think/want/need.

This should work with: Authorize.net, Chronopay, Inpay, Moneybookers, Paypal Pro, Paypal Pro Payflow, Paypal Standard, RBS World Pay, SagePay Direct, Sofortueberweisung Direct, but I have only tested it on Authorize.net. I would love to get more testers to see if this works for everyone.

Questions, concerns, problems?

I'll get around to them as quickly as I can.

Oh yeah, you can now google map the IP of the customer through an automatic link also.

@nrlatsha,

Is this a FREE service ?  Or do you have to choose a subscription plan to use the system ?  I see the trial plan, but don't see the limitations of the trial.

They used to offer 10 queries per month for those without a key or account, but they now require a key.

The trial version is for 1,000 non-expiring standard queries, which is perfect for testing and trials.

[DunWeb]

@nrlatsha,

So, the add on you supplied will require the user to PAY for your service after they have used the 1000 queries ?

If that is the case, then I don't believe your add on belongs on this website. (JMO)

This is a very useful add-on and as long as the module itself is free and GNU i see no problem with it being availble through this site, there are plenty of other add-ons which require you to have some sort of "subscription" for you to use them.

Also in this case the "author" is as far as i know not the service provider and he/she has also made, maintained and supported earlier versions of this same mod over a long periode of time and should be commended for doing so.

Hi Noel,

The instructions for your latest MaxMind update say to update the minFraud account to v1.2, but I just noticed that v1.3 is out now. Should I still select v1.2 for now?  Will the new feature in v1.3 be incorporated here sometime?

Thanks for the great contribution, and toyicebear mentioned, for maintaining it well for so long.

[nrlatsha]

Longhorn,

Thanks for the note, I didn't notice they updated that on 13 Feb.  They added "version" (MaxMind service version), "service level" (premium or standard service used) and "prepaid" (checks to see if its a prepaid credit card or gift card) to the output fields.  They removed the "score" and "explanation" fields from the output.

I'll need to add those fields to the database table, and remove how I calculate the "risk" graphic to the admin order page.  I currently have it based on the old score, but I should upgrade to their new risk score.  They contacted me about it, but I haven't had time to finish with me finishing my masters degree and the follow-on Call of Duty marathon.

I'll start to take a look and hopefully will have a new version out in a couple of days.

Thanks for the note!

[nrlatsha]

Oh, yes, select 1.2 for now or you'll come up with some empty fields in your output.

Thanks for the help!  I know that school and COD are top priorities (not necessarily in that order), and I'll wait for your next version.  This has saved me from at least one potentially expensive fraudulent transaction, so I recommend it to everyone.

Version 3.3:


Change notes: 5 Nov 2012 21:05:01 V3.3
(1) Corrected Database tables omission in step 4 (it should be the same as step 5, different file location
(2) Added a step to delete the maxmind.php on the admin side, that logic is already in maxtest.php
(3) Deleted one of the sample photos in these instructions to keep package under 300k.

[nrlatsha]

The instructions state it works with osCommerce v2.3.1, but it was developed and tested against v2.3.3.

I will update the instructions during the next code revision.

The next code revision will be when I get some ideas to include.  I'm open to ideas from anyone.

[longhorn1999]

Hi Noel,

I upgraded all the way from v2.0 to this latest version, and I'm using osC 2.2RC2a.  Your updated instructions worked great.  The database entries were mildly tricky and the commands might need to be run in a different order (for my older edition anyways), but just about everything seems to be working OK.

I did upgrade to the premium edition of MaxMind, though I still had free standard queries left from the initial trial.  I changed the setting to premium in maxtest.php, and that test seemed to work fine.  I changed the setting in includes/modules/maxmind/maxmind.php to premium as well, but the latest order that came through doesn't seem to be processing it as a premium query.

$requested_type = "premium";
//$requested_type = "standard";

Hopefully one of these images show through.

Is there something obvious that I'm missing in my settings?

Regardless of whether premium or standard queries are used, this is a great add-on that you've coded and supported well and I highly recommend it for everyone, at least all of those based in the US.

Thanks!

@longhorn1999

It looks like I was stepping on my own variable in maxmind.php.

Line 99:  $h['requested_type'] = $request_type;

Should be: $h['requested_type'] = $requested_type;

That variable must be defined somewhere else, because it grabbed "SSL"

I can upload a new package if you're not comfortable changing that line in the code.

Let me know.
