1. A computer system for processing and selectively blocking a current remote purchase request, listing a first card number, based on information gained from at least a previous remote purchase request, listing a second card number that is different from said first card number, comprising:
- (a) a data input subsystem, connected to a data line, capable of automatically receiving an origin, and of further receiving a card number and merchandise descriptor to form, in total, a purchase request information set;
(b) a memory subsystem adapted to store said purchase request information set; and
(c) a logic subsystem adapted to effect a comparison of a said purchase request information set, including a listing of a first card number, of a said current remote purchase request with a said purchase request information set of at least a said previous remote purchase request, including a listing of a second card number that is different from said first card number, and adapted to automatically block said current remote purchase request if said comparison meets any one of a predetermined set of criteria wherein at least one criterion includes a condition that said purchase request origin of said current purchase match said purchase request origin of said previous purchase request.

Abstract
A system for selectively blocking a current remote purchase request based on information gained from at least a previous remote purchase request. The device includes a first data input subsystem capable of receiving purchase request information set including a credit card number, merchandise descriptions and origin. A memory subsystem receives the information set from the previous and current remote purchase requests. A logic subsystem compares the purchase request record of the current remote purchase request with the purchase request record of the previous remote purchase request and automatically blocks the current remote purchase request if the comparison meets any one of a predetermined set of criteria. At least one criterion includes a condition that the current purchase request origin match the previous purchase request origin.

11. A method for selectively blocking a second remote purchase request, listing a second card number, based on information gained from at least a previous first purchase request, listing a first card number that is different from said second card number, comprising:
-
(a) receiving and storing a first purchase request information set including an origin, a first credit card number and an item; (b) receiving and storing a second remote purchase request information set including an origin, a second credit card number that is different from said first credit card number, and an item; (c) automatically comparing said second remote purchase request information set with said first remote purchase request information set and automatically blocking said second remote purchase request if said comparison meets any one of a predetermined set of criteria wherein at least one criterion includes a condition that said purchase request origin of said first purchase request match said purchase request origin of said second purchase request.
