Most people have heard the phrase "buyer beware," but in this high-tech age of computer crimes, more businesses are learning about "seller beware."
One tactic scam artist may use is a TTY Telephone Relay Service, which is actually for the hearing impaired.
A floral company in Abilene has been up close and personal with this scam.
"Be careful on anything your doing, especially here this shop because most of our business is phone in orders," Gary Normin of Gary's Floral Gallery said, "so we have to be very, very careful."
Businesses should always make sure that an order is legitimate, or that the buyer possessing a credit card is the actual owner of the card.
