Too many fraudulent users from your region.

Clicking a link to URLTrend from LiewCF brought me to a page that says:

You have been permanently banned from our site.

Reason: Too many fraudulent users from your region.

So what’s this URLTrends, anyway?

UrlTrends was developed by Joel Strellner to allow Webmasters, Search Engine Optimizers, and domain buyers to determine a websites (or a specific pages) rankings in the various search engines and directories. Based on this information you can make competitive analysis of any website with another website — and from this you could possibly determine whether your SEO tactics are positive or negative to your website; or, if you are a domain buyer, determine if a particular domain should be purchased.

Me? Banned? Looks like the entire South East Asia is banned as well. Actually, a lot of web hosting companies in the west are banning IPs from countries such as China, Vietnam and the rest of SEA because of “high risks” of fraudulent activities involving stolen credit cards. Who can blame them? GoDaddy.com did this to a couple of Philippine ISPs back in 2003.

Other more creative business/companies would actually ask for a scanned copy of your credit card along with a government-sanctioned ID.

  1. ServerBeach approved my application with a scanned ID. I believe they can do that since dedicated hosting has relatively fewer subscribers.


  2. And chargebacks (for fake orders) costs a lot too!

    this could chase your customer away! too many things to do :(
