TIPS TO AVOID SCAMMERS!!!!

Scammers come in all shapes sizes and countries. Some are masquerading as a legit business to start with and end they are off with your cash.

One company that I was scammed by and help the police close down had all apperances of a legit business. Licensed, BBB member, nice office complex etc. In the end his scam was, according to police, he would take in cash for items in quantity, then after you complained enough about not getting your products he would take some of the cash you sent and go to BESTBUY and purchase a few items to make you feel like there was hope of getting your order. In the end you may of received 10% of your actual order and what was left was profit. Scam worked for about 4-5 months then it all came collapsing down around him when the orders stopped coming in and he had no more funds to buy merchandise with to keep everyone at bay. After that I created Roberts Rules of wholesale buying.

First, No wire transfers.

No western union or any other type of money gram.

PAYPAL only if you are using a Credit Card. PAYPAL will cancel the scammers account and freeze whatever funds are their, but if you paid via ECheck or cash out of your bank it's gone with the scammer.

Credit Card, COD, LC, ESCROW.com or FLY and Buy only. That's it. They are the only methods that afford you the opportunity of getting your cash back or protecting your hard earned money. If your spending 10K on a order whats another 200-300 to fly and inspect and watch it get loaded on your truck.

If everyone followed these rules the scammers would be out of business in a short time frame. The legit companies would be forced to alter their practices to sell their wares.

The problem is everyone, including myself, is greedy and is looking for the lowest price and thinking about all their money thats going to be made when in reality it's all just being lost.

As i review most of these posts where money was lost, it was by one of the methods listed above to avoid. I know every business that requires wire transfers are not frauds, but the vast majority are, why risk your hard earned dollars, it's not worth it. If you want to throw your money away, send it to me, I'll at least have the courtsey to say Thanks.
