Transaction Security

At AVADirect we follow the strictest guidelines as we take all precautions to establish a secured purchasing experience for our customers; by having formed partnerships with the IC3, NW3C, and FBI; both federally-funded and non-profit organizations, to prevent, investigate and prosecute those who attempt fraud either by phone or via our website.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)

Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) was established as a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) to serve as a means to receive Internet related criminal complaints and to further research, develop, and refer the criminal complaints to federal, state, local, or international law enforcement and/or regulatory agencies for any investigation they deem to be appropriate. The IC3 was intended, and continues to emphasize, serving the broader law enforcement community to include federal, as well as state, local, and international agencies, which are combating Internet crime and, in many cases, participating in Cyber Crime Task Forces.

NW3C (National White Collar Crime Center)

NW3C

The mission of NW3C is to provide a nationwide support system for agencies involved in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of economic and high-tech crimes and to support and partner with other appropriate entities in addressing homeland security initiatives, as they relate to economic and high-tech crimes.  NW3C is a federally-funded, non-profit corporation whose membership is primarily comprised of law enforcement agencies, state regulatory bodies with criminal investigative authority, and state and local prosecution offices.  While NW3C has no investigative authority itself, its job is to help law enforcement agencies better understand and utilize tools to combat economic and high-tech crime.

FBI (The Federal Bureau of Investigation)

FBI

The mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners. The organization with these responsibilities has not always been called the FBI.
