hello all,

i was wondering if there is a way to record the registrant's ip address once they register and submit payment? i want to compare the location of the ip with the billing information to make sure its a legitimate charge.

The reason i'm asking if you care: i use CiviEvents for a global conference and the registration confirmation is documentation that can be used to obtain visa to the hosting country. we've had a flux of fraudulent registrations from Nigeria with stolen credit cards mostly from the U.S. trying to obtain visa and i've had reports from the victims saying they have also purchased tickets to the countries we host our conference. i'm guessing this is the new era of illegal immigration we've reported it to DOJ and there seems to be nothing we can do...

anyways, thank you for your help.
