Avoid payment fraud
Post by Sparklyn, 10-Jan-2025.
Some importers may experience this type of fraud when placing their orders. It typically involves their payment for orders being sent to the wrong bank account, which can leave both the supplier and the importer out of a large amount of money. Reduce your risk of this type of fraud by following two simple steps:
Don't send your payment to a bank account that isn't registered under the name of the company you are ordering from.
Don't send your payment to a bank account registered in a different city from your supplier, even if the name on the account is similar.
Otherwise, you will simply lose your money and have virtually no legal recourse to get it back.
