Comment on Delivery Driver Scammed DoorDash Of More Than $2.5 Million

Many platforms that deal with finance would reject an order when they detect VPNs or Tor (since that’s what fraudsters and scammers use), or they ask for additional verification (like SMS) to verify you are in fact the account holder. So they probably were just using their real IP address.

Well in this case a proxy isn’t a VPN, but an intermediate the criminal has taken control of. A proxy does not have to be legitimate.

True, but again, you’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t see anything about proxies anywhere.
