How to avoid so many scammers when online shopping?

Aug. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- With the development of the internet, so many people doing business online, also many scammers appear on the internet, so how can we avoid them? I can just say some what I know, maybe not much but hope can help you in future.

Most of our businesses now start from search online, and when we find a new website which has the items we are interested in, I think the most important thing is search the company online to see whether they have good word-of-mouth. If this company is new, maybe we can not find more information about them online, and then we can check their company information on their website, such as their company address, telephone call, fax No. and contact person. Most established company you can find all such information on their website. If you can do the payment for the items on their website, use the third payment maybe more safe, so most of the time I think PayPal maybe better. If the company can only accept West Union or T/T, it’s dangerous, it means once you do the payment, it’s hard to get the money back when you find you are scammed. By the way, I’m also a seller, from Trait-tech Ltd(www.trait-tech.com), and one of my customers was scammed by such company which have no telephone call on the website, only one contact name on the website, and the address is not true, the building and floor have no problem, but the room is not exist. Because the address on the website is near to me but I do not go there before, so I went there and checked myself and could not find the company there, so I’m sure he was scammed.

Why was he scammed? He wanted use a unavailable cost to get real brand items." No good cheap goods, good not cheap goods "is Businessmen's jargon. Don’t forget these words can let you avoid being scammed. For example, I can always get such inquiry ‘I want 2gb capacities USB drive 1000pcs, target price 2usd/pcs ,do not contact if higher than this’ what funny, even kids know that it’s impossible with that price, once you get reply it must be a scammer or I promise you will get fuck products. For that inquiry, means not the scammer want to find you, it’s you who want scammer come to you. So when all happen, don’t be angry with the scammer because you inquiry has refuse all of the genuine sellers, what I want to say is that if you want to do business with genuine sellers, please do a realistic target price and then you will find your business is more easy, maybe earn a little less, but no scammer in future.
