Your online store is being flooded with fake “orders”:
Someone places an order, leaves real phone numbers and addresses.
You call - people didn’t order anything and live in a completely different city.
And so 40-50 times a day .

How they attack
There are two nurse phone number data scenarios: “not very good” and “really bad”.
Scenario #1
If you work with "payment for order" - there is a cheating of orders. "Schoolboy" fills out a form for 3 rubles, and the fraudulent webmaster gets 300 rubles for the order. A gold mine! (Someone found it in your pocket)
Here, things are even worse: you might not have provoked the scammers in any way – you have an online store, and that’s enough for them.
The brazen grabbers blackmail their confused victims with letters like these:
13.03.2015, 19:22, «Boris Drozdov»
Your store has been attacked by us. You are receiving many fake orders and this situation will get worse!
If you want to stop the attack, you need to pay us 100,000 rubles.
If you want to pay, write to bor-droz@ru
Technical details (for the hardcore internet marketers):
Most of the orders come from one subnet — netname: DEPO40-NET-NEW, descr: IE Trusov Ilya Igorevych, country: RU.
According to the logs, orders are placed by different browsers, different page viewing times, and different data in form fields.
