I can only assume someone was attacking us in the form of fraudulent sales. We were proactive and worked with our billers to identify which sales looked legit and which were suspicious. We immediately refunded and cancelled all the suspicious ones. I believe it was well over 100 sales we canceled that day. Not fun but definitely saved us a big problem down the road.
That's interesting! Why would anyone attack you with fraudulent sales?
