Sorry for my ignorance... but may some one explain how this fraud-prevention service works?
How about US tourists in Chile trying to buy something with it's US based credit card? :)
It's a misconception of some muppets, especially in IT related products, that forget, that a lot or IT professionals do travel all over the world and usually have a credit card in their home country. Pure and utter nonsense. /M
Thx, Nic.

Somebody from Google replied off-list. Sounds like Google maybe had this updated even before he looked at it.

Somebody from Akamai replied off-list and they're looking into it.

MaxMind was the first place I checked; they already had the correct info when I looked. IP2Location don't have the right info, but they think it's a Speakeasy.net IP in Washington DC which probably won't be a problem. No idea about Digital Element yet.
Netblock is 67.214.48.0/20 - was reg'd a couple of weeks ago so folks who pull ARIN assignments regularly will have it. Those who care but don't check ARIN regularly may want to see if they think it's in Chile, and change it to Denver, Colorado if so.

Yeah, it's those types that I'm hoping to locate as well... Google and Akamai were immediately noticed by the test users, and have also responded very quickly (thanks, guys), but ideally we'd like to be proactive and get as many of these updated *before* the real customers hit the network and start having problems.
