​E-commerce Scam Alert

If an order looks too good to be true or something about it just doesn't seem quite right, don't hesitate to investigate further before you ship the order. The June 8 Bookselling This Week published a great article on Fraudulent Orders and Other Deceptive Practices Making the Rounds. A bit of caution when processing transactions can save you a great deal of money.
