Our page where you add your credit card information IS secure. It resides in a completely secure area and is always secure. It never moves and never changes location. You can easily tell if pages are secure. At the bottom of the screen, when on the secure page, there is a ‘lock’. It is open on other pages but closed on the secure page. Also, all pages beginning with https are secure locked pages. Our shopping cart resides on a completely professionally run website also.

CELL or CORDLESS phones: Are you aware that these calls may be monitored and listened in on within a radius of several miles around you? People can own a scanner that is on at all times. When you start talking this activates it. Anything you say can be listened in on. This is SUPER dangerous when it comes to giving your name/address and credit card information by these phones!!!! This is how identity theft occurs! Don't do it!

The other way people steal your credit card information is wherever you use it. This includes down the street at your local supermarket. I assure you that no one here will steal your card. We have very trustworthy and highly respected employees at Sugarcraft.

Our shopping cart is a lot safer than cell or cordless phones. It is safer than any other method of sending this information. Nothing is perfect and anything is possible.

IF YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER DOES GET STOLEN:
You are not the one who pays. It will be the store that was dumb enough to not check the information more thoroughly when they processed it. The machines available now check name and address. Then if we still don't feel safe, we ask for more identity. If this identity is not supplied, we do not ship. This is done with International orders more than locally. Of course thieves back out. (Sometimes thieves get pretty angry with us for asking too!) Trustworthy honest people see no problem with safety measures. Just think, if we ask for further identification (copies of card etc), we already have the card number and your name/address. You are not exposing any more than we already have. I have been asked for faxed copies of my card and drivers license when ordering on the web. I saw no problem with sending it at all.

IF your credit card IS ever stolen:
Many times your credit card company will alert you before you are aware of it even. Danger signals go up when odd items you usually never buy are made. Or, from out of country. If theft has occurred the credit company will cancel the card immediately upon their calling you or your calling them. A new credit card will be issued right away.

Does this help? I sure hope so. It gives me nightmares from all the people who insist on not using their credit card over our secure shopping cart, then call on a cordless or cell phone to give the information!
