My Advise Is To Ckeck Out Company, Call Credit Card Company To See If Its A Valid Card And Do A Search Of The Persons Name.

Good Morning, I would like to add to this.

There has been an increase in the number of stollen cards and the use of those cards. You the business owner cannot be aware of that, but your processor should be and should have the software that will track those cards. Also the security department of the XYZ company should be tracking your sales and watching for any unusual sales amount or ship to address that fall into area of known fraud.

Do be aware of this, call your processor for more information. There is ways of setting your software in your equipment to help stop some of this, but only if you are educated on how to use the software and the special fields.

And the XYZ company should not charge you for that protection.

For more info you may email me, and I will be glad to share.
