    Fraud, caution stolen products.

    In Dec and Jan we got scammed three times with expensive scopes shipped to Quebec.

    These are stolen goods as they have not been paid for, we got caught by a customer(s) using stolen CC information. This is a good reminder for everyone to always check their CC statement carefully.

    Stolen are the following: Leupold Mark 6 1-6 x 20 (LPD-115045) for $2,855.00 plus shipping and tax. SERIAL # 506996Y
    Bushnell Elite Tactical 1-8 x 42 (BUS-ET18524) $2,270.00 plus shipping and tax. No serial #
    Swarovski Z6 2.5-15 x 44 (SWA-59419) $3,019.00 plus shipping and tax. SERIAL # RA8311622

    Reward offered $1,000.00, for the recovery of the scopes and prosecution of the thief.

    It really sucks that the CC companies screw the retailers. If everything checks out with address, name and number the CC company should eat it.

    That blows! It makes things worse for buyers and retailers alike. Hopefully you will get a lucky break and the POS will get caught.

    only ship to the address on the credit card somewhat avoids this fraud but not always

    That blows.

    Can I suggest, at least for online transactions, you look into adding the Verified by Visa/Mastercard Securcode options? That's an additional layer of protection. Otherwise online payments are basically 'Card not present' transactions and you take all the liability

    ^^ I've noticed a lot of retailers are starting to use the Verified by Visa/Mastercard Secure options.
