6. Anti Fraud Protection
Retailers are often subject to credit card fraud, caused by criminals using stolen cards to place orders. We combat this in various ways including checking the address given as the 'billing' address on our order form against that which the credit card company has on file. If these do not match the transaction will be flagged for investigation and goods will not be shipped until the purchaser has confirmed their identity, do not falsify the order form, we will prosecute illegal charge backs without fail. Also, where an alternate delivery address is given we may make additional checks before completing the order, wherever possible we prefer to ship to the cardholder address.
