Unfortunately, the Internet is not always a safe place, and fraudulent orders are becoming increasingly common. Here are some red flags to watch out for, as well as simple steps you can take to verify suspicious orders.
If one or more of these red flags appear on an order, we recommend that you take the following steps:
If you suspect an order is fraudulent please Immediately email staff@bookweb.org with the order information and we will investigate further. Each fraudulent order that is reported allows us to possibly stop fraud on your website as well as throughout the entire IndieCommerce network.
The American Booksellers Association, a national not-for-profit trade organization, works with booksellers and industry partners to ensure the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and to assist in expanding the community of the book.
Independent bookstores act as community anchors; they serve a unique role in promoting the open exchange of ideas, enriching the cultural life of communities, and creating economically vibrant neighborhoods.
