Quoting from [asroma86]:
I am doing business for the first time, what is the safest way to pay for my goods and make sure I don't get scammed? The amount is only $375.
verify the supplier's details. if the shipment is over if they show you the AWB or B/L you send the TT., for proof of shipment, if you ahev any iagency there ask them to verify and ask them to give a certificate
