Online fraud and theft prevention

Credit card fraud is not a 'victimless' crime

Occasionally a transaction will trigger an alert from our credit card processing company. We will normally make contact with the buyer before sending the goods.

In these circumstances, if the customer has provided a false telephone number or non-working email address, we have little choice but to hold the order until contact is made.
