MaxMind is the most popular fraud detection service that WHMCS customers use.  MaxMind offers a risk scoring service that will run automatically each time that a user places an order. It will calculate a score instantly for the riskiness of a particular order, using both the data that a customer provides during signup and the IP address they are connecting from.  WHMCS then allows you to use this score to automatically block orders that may be too risky to allow through for payment. However, you still have the option to manually override upon manual review if you need to.
