A couple of weird transactions

[Thistlewelly]

I've had two very small online orders - like $1 to $2 purchases which is unusual. I'm a very small shop where people normally shop in store or buy online for pick up or specialty items. The people who purchased asked for pick up but haven't responded to emails. Both orders came in within 2 days of one another. Wondering if this is some phishing scam of some sort?

Hi Thistlewelly,

Unfortunately it's quite possible that this is just one method that not so honest people test credit cards - if the transaction is successful, they know that the card is good which they then use to go on a shopping spree else ware .   They normally choose small businesses that either sell an inexpensive item or accept any amount donations.  This is done to stay under the radar and not attract attention.  You may want to consider refunding the transactions and reevaluate your prices.  Note, these scenarios have come up before in the Community.

Thanks - that's what I was kind of thinking as well. I'll cancel and refund them.
