PLEASE
READ CAREFULLY:
Credit card fraud is
a growing epidemic. However, contrary to what most people think,
the consumer is not at great risk due to credit card fraud.
By federal law, you are limited to no more than $50 in responsibility
for fraudulent credit card charges and most credit card companies
lower that to $0.
The people who are at
most risk are the small business owners on the Internet who
are barely making a living. They are fully responsible for any
charge backs due to fraudulent credit card charges. It doesn't
take many such fraudulent transactions to virtually wipe out
the small business owner.
Coin and bullion dealers
are prime targets for credit card fraud. Fraudulent use of credit
cards results in losses for us and results in higher prices
our customers. As a small business, we cannot afford to absorb
the cost of credit card fraud and as such, we make stringent
use of our merchant service's credit card protection system.
In cases where we suspect
possible credit card fraud we may ask that you scan and e-mail
us a copy of the front and back of your credit card, as well
as proof of your billing address (a copy of your statement)
before we will ship your order. These measures are to protect
us as well as our customers! This information can be e-mailed
to info@silversuperiorcoins.com
Providing us with a copy
of the front and back of your credit card is no different from
handing your credit card to a merchant in a local store. The
exact information is available to the merchant when he handles
your credit card and runs it through his credit card machine.
In addition, he can verify your address and other information
by examining other forms of identification at the time of sale.
Internet merchants do
not have the luxury of positive identification. It only takes
a few fraudulent transactions to wipe out a coin & bullion
merchant since our profit margins are so low. As such, we cannot
risk loss due to credit card fraud. Our policies help ensure
that credit card fraud does not take place. Since anyone can
purchase a product online with a stolen credit card and have
it shipped to anywhere in the world, we have been forced to
institute this policy. The practice of requiring this information
is common among internet businesses. You will find a multitude
of internet stores that have the exact same policy.
If you cannot provide
us with the requested information, we will be unable to process
your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
you, but the risk of credit card fraud is to great.
Failure to comply with
such a request may result in immediate notification of your
local authorities and possible criminal prosecution. Don't even
think about attempting credit card fraud here! We are premium
members of VerifyFraud.com and will use the full extent of the
law to capture and prosecute anyone who attempts to perform
fraud. |
