Safe Buying On The Internet

See message: BEWARE OF WHO YOU BUY FROM...and just make sure you are buying or selling within your own country!! It is much more difficult to catch crooks when they are operating in another country!! I think most of us who have Internet businesses are honestly just trying to make a living like anyone else. Provide a good product, and a good service and make a decent income for that....but you always gotta check people out before you send your money! Personally, I always look for contact info...address, phone number...and try to verify some of that before sending money. Anyone can be anyone in an email or on a website. You don`t have anything to really trace down in a problem situation, until you have verified someone really exists via a phone call or verify an address by mailing via snail mail! You can always ask for references too...a happy customer that you could email and verify that they actually received what they ordered...or look for web site that have testimonials...although I hear people can even fake those! It `s sad that one has to be so careful these days, but that`s the way it is out there.
