Why scammers do chose to attack you?
Post 1 of 1
Some companies are more targeted by scammers than others. Why is it in such a way? Scammers doesn't held gathering to targeted such and such companies but how it is many scammers chooses to targeted specific companies?
The answer is that because like have what I call an incomplete image.
Very often, some people in charge of exporting in their organisation think that posting a trade lead on the internet is just like chatting or whatever funny think they normally do. It is in no way similar in updating their website, it is more than that and this require something very important: professionalism.
Here is a typical post lead from a company:
MANDRACE CO. LTD
WANT TO BUY MANY BOTTLES OF MINERAL WATER
PLEACE SEND US INFOMRATION. QUICKLY REPLY
OUR COMPANY IS SITUATED IN MAURITIUS.
Here is another one:
We are an import oriented company situated in Mauritius in the Food and Beverages sector. We are seeking new partners for expansion. We are looking for manufacturer of mineral water. Here are our requirements:
Bottles of 500ml / 1000ml / 1500ml
Labeling in French or English
Etc
Now just try to figure you get this two above trade lead, which one you would prefer to deal with. The first one is full of mistake whereas the second one is a professional one. This is the same for a person, if you come to apply for a vacancy in casual wear, you will be less taken in consideration than the one who comes in suits and ties.
All this was to make you understand that the way you present your company influences on who will contact you. If you appear like a newly born and vulnerable company, scammers will soon contact you but if you are professional, they would know that you may also have enough resources to track them down, thats why they simply wont dare to attack you.
I really hope this will help you and dont hesitate to try it out. Review your actual Trade Leads, benchmark it with other companies and try to make it the most professional you can and ... good safe trading on the net.
