A. Wholesale buying Rules

First, a few ground rules to abide by, which will save you plenty of time and money. Unfortunately, many

people violate these rules every day, and lose thousands of dollars to scammers.

Wholesale Rule 1 - NEVER buy products from anyone who wants to be paid by Western Union.  If someone #

asks for payment by Western Union, do not respond to them, and block their email. I know their low priced

merchandise is tempting, but it is a scam EVERY TIME.

Western Union advises the following on their website:

Make sure you know to whom you are sending money. If you are purchasing goods or services and paying

through the Western Union network, it is your responsibility to verify the reputation and legitimacy of the

seller.

Western Union is not responsible for the non-receipt or quality of any goods or services.

Common Western Union scams include, but are not limited to the following:

scam # 1: Seller asks you to pay by Western Union and tells you it will be safe because you can make out

the payment to the name of one of your friend’s or relative’s names, but put the seller’s address on the

payment.

You will then tell the seller the control number (identification #) of the payment so he can go

to Western Union and verify you have made the payment. Once you receive the shipment, you will go to

Western Union and change the name to the seller’s real name so that he can pick up the money.

 
Why it’s a scam:

Once the seller knows the address or control number of the payment, he can go get the

payment and send you nothing. Many Western Union agents in foreign countries never ask for identification.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Welcome are you.

scam #2:

Seller asks you to pay by Western Union and tells you to make the payment using Western Union’s
“secret question” feature. This feature is designed so that the Western Union agent will ask a secret question

to whoever is picking up the money, and he must get the answer right in order to collect the money.
Why it’s a scam:

Again, many times Western Union agents do not ask the question, and only care if the

person knows the address or control number, especially outside of the United States.

Western Union even advises on their website not to rely on the secret question feature.
