We take credit card fraud seriously in order to insure our customers the best possible protection of their credit card information.  We log and track all IP addresses and use them to trace any fraudulent transactions.  We report any international fraud attempts to the US government and we report any US fraud attempts to the FBI.  

Your information will be encrypted using TELEsitesSSL Digital Web Server Certificate with 128bit encryption services.  We do not retain credit card details in our system or database.  All credit card details are processed by our financial institution in a secure environment.

To discourage fraud we do not list all the ways we check credit cards for authenticity here.  At ADB we go out of our way to make sure that the person placing the order is indeed the person authorized to use the credit card account. 

There are many ways to make ePayment (electronic payments) for ADB.  

For complete details see our ePayments page.

Due to the high amount of PayPal fraud we do NOT accept credit card payments through their services and any that are received that are NOT from an existing account are denied by us immediately. 

We accept credit card payments directly through our own shopping cart program. 

We only accept PayPal payments from existing PayPal accounts.

Existing accounts have already been verified with a thorough bank account verification process by PayPal.  Persons paying with a credit card who do not have an existing account are not checked to a high enough standard for us to accept the order.  Lately PayPal has made this problem worse by accepting credit cards from non-members first and then asking them if they would like to be a member after the fact.  This will most likely make PayPal a higher target for credit card fraud and we will not allow our products to be shipped or other persons credit cards to be used for fraudulent orders.

The best way to purchase with a legitimate credit card is directly through our online shopping cart program and our secure transactions servers.  We check credit card orders in a vast number of different ways before allowing authorization in order to protect everyone from fraudulent use of their accounts and identity.  In most cases, we are the first party reporting the fraud to the bank when we find someone's card is been misused.
