Welcome Nutra Nutra users,
Nutra Nutra is on a continuous mission to improve the market place that we have created. With that being said I wanted to touch down on a very real topic - Scammers! Although in business there really isn't a 100% secure transaction unless payment is received up front, however there are things you can do to protect yourself.
Take time to examine your customer - we all want sales but sales that end up in a loss are not considered sales.
Take a look at these things to watch for:
- Overseas transactions are a very real part of our business - Protect yourself - Insist that all payments are Cleared before shipping any items at all.
- Overseas Bank Checks can take 31 days to clear, a check can become a bad check long after your goods are shipped!
- Get a wire transfer - call the bank its coming from.
- Credit letters are a great thing or are they? In the days of desktop publishing and professional scams its hard to take any piece of paper as proof of credibility. Get payment up front or use a lawyer to secure large sums of money.
- For smaller transactions use Paypal - they are a very trust worthy organization and a middle man that can help in troubling situations.
- Do whatever it takes to make sure you get paid for your goods.
These are things I will be expanding on from time to time so check back and please share any insight you may have that can help protect others.
Thank you,
Paul DeLalla
