Do not accept orders unless complete information is provided (including full address and phone number). Require address verification for all of your credit card orders.
Be especially careful with orders that come from free e-mail services – there is a much higher incidence of fraud from these services.
Be wary of orders that are larger than your typical order amount and orders with next day delivery.
Pay extra attention to international orders. Validate the order before you ship your product to a different country.
If you are suspicious, pick up the phone and call the customer to confirm the order.
Consider using software or services to fight credit card fraud online.
If defrauded by a credit card thief, contact your bank and the authorities.
