Re: [ic] Heads up about a security flaw with UPS's new Delivery Intercept service

So the person who ordered all these items called them up claiming to be our company and had them redirect the packages to a new address. As far as the credit card processor was concerned, all the info was legitimate, and UPS dropped the ball by letting ANYONE with half a brain to request the order be diverted to a new address. We would have never known until people started calling us screaming about their credit cards. We just happened to catch it in time and stop every order.

UPS apparently does not care when we brought this to their attention. They simply said not to send out the tracking numbers which is idiotic. Most customers who order online want to track their packages.

Louie,

Thank you very much for letting us all know! That sounds like a scam that many e-commerce sites will be vulnerable to.
