I am new so take whats it worth.....One I would not as a seller ask for information on buyer FIRST contact...second personal or banking info is not pertinent information to closing a sale to what I know of. I also would also be dealing with a broker to arrange shipping and only ask for the costs of my goods and taxes before leaving and the remainder placed in a escrow or thrid party of some sort and would not do on first talk...this is money we are talking about!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not see how many people are being scammed and not holding wallets tigher in hands and opening eyes more. This is 2009 not 1909 where a mans word is honor. Those days are gone. Trust is EARNED and so is RESPECT!!! This is not given in ONE or TWO Talks and EMAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry but this frustrates me to see how people try to scam others and some lose out and new guys like myself trying to start into a field of new waters know this is a troubled water area BUT I dont go in Blind either. It is due research for money making business objectives. Your business is worth investing in than do the homework on your suppliers too as the only one concerned about the bottom line for your company is YOU!!!
