I suggest you send us commission cheques immediately!

Just a thought... just throwing it out there, but if orders of this size are quite out of the ordinary, I'd take steps to ensure you have not been scammed and do it BEFORE you ship anything. You'll lose your shirt if you're not careful.

I've been getting a ton of fraudulent purchase attempts over the last two weeks. Mostly large purchases of $2000.00-$4000.00. Nothing adds up and the details are always a little sketchy. Calling the card's issuing bank usually proves me right.

If you're not sure this feels right, it's probably not.

• Personally call the contact phone number your customer gave you in your checkout page. (Don't rely on email)
• Contact the issuing bank to ensure that the card information has not been stolen.
• Check with the issuing bank to ensure that the billing address and contact information you received matches that of the credit card.
• The banks can issue chargebacks for up to six months on some cards. Make sure everything is legit!
• If the customer offers to use their shipper to pick up the package, there's something fishy going on.
• If the shipping address is overseas, to the Ivory Coast or some other bizarre location, ask some questions.
• Use Google Maps to check out the address. (If you're seeing an empty lot, in an industrial area, I'd see that as a red flag.)
• Do a reverse phone lookup on the phone number to see if it matches the location in the contact information. (A person who supposedly lives in Washington should not have a phone number that resolves to an address in Pennsylvania)
