Quoting from [72ally]:


A supplier has requested T/T, Western Union Payment.  As this form of payment is essentially cash how reliable is it that I will actually receive product?  Are the suppliers monitored for scams?

Hot Topic Recommend

Dealing with Chinese Suppliers• Shipping freight costs • Doing business in Christmas
• Business in economic crisis• Ensure a manufacturer is ethical
• Protect the business from copying• Be the last man standing
• To find the quality China goods• Payment beneficiary issue
• Buyer's starting steps in Alibaba• Suppliers like such payment terms


Not all suppliers who request T/T or Western Union Payment are scammers!

Actually,when my Australian client bought 20pcs iPillows (samples)from us,we requested him to pay the sample cost by western union and he accepted this payment mode.The premise is that both parties know each other well and mutual-trust established.Why don't you always doubt your suppliers would not send the goods after you paid the money?Anyway,we should be careful on doing overseas business!

Good luck!

Dear 72ally,

It has been my experience(and I have been ripped off 3 times by china suppliers that this Western Union, Moneygram, and T/T payment methods are not usable. Believe me if you find a good supplier they will accept 50% of cost upfront and 50% upon delivery. This is the only way to assure both people (yourself, that you get the merchandise and the supplier that they get the money) then send the 50% by T/T or bank transfer. That way you will have proof of payment. Good luck with buying and best regards, Rose

it is so shameful for such scammer who cheating

lose our face make the honest suppliers lost the good enviroment as well as good image to do

it is pity to both of buyer so do honest suppliers

Quoting from [Gabor Bathori]:


Western Union and T/T to a personal bank acc. is the preferred payment method of scammers, for two reasons, one is they have no real companies, second, this way your payment cannot be traced. Therefore I seriously advise you to leave ANY "supplier" demanding you to pay by WU. WU is used by private persons to send money to each other, it is not a payment used by companies.



Additionally, if you are looking for any branded article for cheap, give it up right now, the best that can happen to you is that you receive a box with cheap fakes or refurbished goods - and this is the best scenario.

Dear friend,

If your supplier is seriously. you can use this payment.

Now western union, they have a good system, only the receiver shows the control number and the person's IDENTITY CARD, some people call it PASS PORT. they can get the money.

If you were cheated by them, you can found them through the IDENTITY CARD , and ask your money back.

In fact , Western union is very easy to operae. it can give the buyer and the seller more convenient.

In another way, you also have the way to trace your money bank , find the person directly. i believe the police they will treat such scammer "well"

I believe most of the seller they would like to do business for a long term, but not only one business. as long term cooperation , they can have more benefits ,compared to one deal. stupid person, only do one-time business. [em1]
