Normally, buyers and buying offers like the one you received from West African countries, are ACTUALLY SCAMMERS.  Even as sellers, you should Google and Due Diligence the buyers, before complying to their inquiries and sending them quotations.  If your findings seem suspicious, Jest forget and ignore them. This safe your precious time and conscience later about buyers genuinity.

HI

In my point of view, I don't think a real business man will do business like this, 100% deposit, Is he mad?

There is no danger for the first step now, Just give him your bank information , absolutely exclude the past word . Check what he will going to do

But Be more careful.

Good wishes

After reading the email,they sent you, this is my analysis.  Benin îs a dangerous coutry as far as international trade is concerned because the risk of fraud is very high. First of all, you are going to find it difficult to ship 20 ft reefer container to Cotonou becuase the freight will be very high. So check with the shipping lines if this is possible. If it  is not possible, you do not have to make any further research.

Though your African business partner has offered you cash in advance, I will not celebrate untill the money comes to my account. If you were buying something, will you send 100% money to a foreign account? I wouldn't. So even if he said so, I do not think he will actually send you money in advance. So its best if you just tell him that you are ready to ship out in 2 containers in five days time and ask him to send you the money and see what he does. Under no circustance should you ship out untill and unless your bank confirms to have recieved the money otherwise, you will never see your fish or your money ever again

For added precaution, you can give the details to a consulting company in India called Priyanka Gopi and Associates who are experts in research companies in Africa. They will tell you all the details that they can find about them. This is a paid service...but when you are dealing with such companies in Africa and Italy, its worth it.

Good luck.

It isn't normal.

Take it seriously.

Hi, I think it is normal 30% downpayment in advance  and balance before shipment or L/C at sight when we cooperate the first time.
