Due to the ability for scammers to rotate through IPs using VPN and other tools, there needs to be the ability to block all IPs related to an attempted zip code on delivery.

Yesterday, I was hit with more than 250 attempts. Today, more than 500. There were at least fifty separate IPs involved from within CONUS and around the world.

This has taken up way too much of my time and I'm more than pissed off about it.

I've renamed my cart so they cannot get access for the time being.

So, add the ability to block sales related to a zip code. You can build in the ability to set a time limit on how long that zip code would be blocked. A period of 48 to 72 hours should be good for most to give up.

There is a feature to block by email address, so is that consistent?
You know you can turn on re-captcha for your cart as well, so that might be a good option.

Thanks,
David
