TIPS HOW TO AVOID FROM INTERNET SCAM

1. Good looking supplier website.
They put SGS and UKAS logos or ISO logo, pretending they were certified and authenticate supplier.
Check their company names if they are certified:
http://www.sgs.com/certified_clients
http://www.ukas.com/InspectionBodySearch.asp
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_members

2. Product with cheap price rather than competitor.
Searching victims must have cheap price to attract your eyes to stay longer and see what they have at their website.
Cheap price can immediately HYPNOTISE your brain and you will try to contact them.
Please wake up!!!         that's impossible price !!!

3. Their Customer Service speak nice and help you to get special discount.
When you contact them, they telling you so charm and propagate to buy more product or with special discount.
Be sure and double check with other competitor, if he doesn't realistic, don't ask for more and discontinue communicate.
Or ask Inspection Service to help you, audit your supplier, are they establish yet or not.

4. They promise you fast delivery.
They always saying: I have some stock, so your product is ready to deliver, and of course they give you some delicious spicy things conversation with speed and fast handling courier to deliver your product.
Hire Inspection Service to help you inspect before you buy, make sure your supplier has those thing or not.

5. Total order mostly USD 2,000 - 10,000
Most scammer try to get much as he can, this amount is very comfortable to him to take from his bank.
Because if any certain amount more than USD 10,000 some buyer feel safe using LC (Letter of Credit) as payment platform.

6. Payment by wire transfer or Western Union / MoneyGram.
Supplier said: we can not offer LC as payment method, with these amount is better to use wire transfer or Western Union / MoneyGram as payment method.       WAIT !!! DO NOT TRANSFER !!!
Spend just little money to hire Inspection Service for visit your supplier, inspect their office and manufacture, are they real or fake.

7. Ask you to pay additional charges.
If you did not follow 1 - 6 tips to avoid scam, and you already paid, scammer will ask you to pay additional charges, he tells you so many excuse and reason such as custom matters, etc.

I think that is it, take care you guys and [em20]

Don't want to be scammed

Is it common for a supplier to ask the buyer to send them a bank slip prior to making a sample? They do not have a form of payment method on the website. They stated in an email to me that they have TT, paypal, and western union as form of payment but neither option is available on-line. They want a bank slip from me. Please advise.
