Section 8. Anti-Fraud measures

Transactions completed or partially completed over the internet, especially when credit cards are used as payment carry significant risk for the merchant. Credit card chargebacks can be avoided by taking the necessary precautions to ensure that the telephone caller is who they say they are, the credit card is registered to them, and that delivery is to the cardholder’s billing address. There are many resources on the internet on this subject provided by merchant service providers such as Streamline and PDQ. When the customer is present, Chip/PIN must be used – this removes all risk from the merchant (Alloy Wheels Direct).
The following list are checks we may make to protect our revenue and eliminate credit card fraud for customer not present transactions

• AVS/CVV digit verification: The last 3 digits on the signature strip on a payment card relate to the numbers in the cardholder's billing address. If a card is used and delivery requested to an address other than the billing address, it will show as �data not matched" during card processing
• Electoral Roll check: The electoral roll holds information on the residents of most UK addresses so that it can be verified who lives at the delivery address>
• Directory Enquiries: Used to verify that the caller lives at the address they claim, and that a landline telephone number corresponds to that address
• Waiting a few days before despatch: If the card is registered stolen after we process the payment, we will be informed before goods are despatched
• Signed order confirmation: provides additional security that they agree to the cost, and terms and conditions
• Faxed/email copy of driving licence: provides proof of address, photo and signature
• Faxed/email copy of utility bill or credit card statement: shows proof of address
• Call the landline number given by customer: confirms that the number exists and can be checked against directory enquiries
• Call a neighbour of the delivery address: asking to speak to the customer should result in their confirmation that the customer exists
• Parcel label requiring no re-direction or delivery without ID: means that it cannot be left with a neighbour or be redirected to any other address except for the billing address of the cardholder
