Yes, sorry. I have a site that allows my customers to become members via monthly credit card subscription. The problem is we've been getting fraudulent credit card transactions and need some mechanism to detect a user who is a repeat offender so I can detect them trying to submit yet another bogus CC for access. The only way that I'm aware of to do that is to grab something specific to that piece of hardware or computer. Does that make sense? ... impossible? ... or is there a better way?
