When the retailer sends the goods they are duly delivered or collected. The retailer will then receive a notification from the bank that the cardholder has denied receiving the goods. The money is charged back to the cardholder and the merchant has been effectively robbed. Chances of recovering the money are none.

Most of the criminals use stolen credit cards or illegally obtained credit card numbers. In other incidents the criminals will actually use their own legitimate credit cards.

All of the criminal activities reported to us originated from Indonesia, Malaysia and Russia.

AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF BY OVERSEAS CREDIT CARD CRIMINALS

Ask the overseas buyer to use the credit card at his or her bank. The bank will then transfer the money directly into your account.
If you really must accept that card (and I strongly recommend that you do not) ask the buyer to send you a clear front and back copy of the card showing the signature. Ask the buyer to also sign the order and fax it to you.
I have received reports that the above precaution will not help prevent a charge back in case of denial of orders.
