Try the very old and well-established Better Business Bureau.\nHere you can find complaints, track record, and reliability.\nIf this isn't enough, don't simply google the company name because you'll get advertisements, false reviews, and a lot more irrelevant stuff.\nWord of mouth is useful too, if it's possible to obtain.

You should be very careful not to give them any info until you contact their "sponsors" to see if they are real or not.\nThey have contact info on their website. Maybe you can try their local better business bureau, to see if they are real or not. Good luck!

You may consider a a two-prong approach of verifying any overseas supplier. First, look carefully at supplier web-site. There are several criteria to evaluate any business web-site (such as How to evaluate a Business Website at http://www.infobanc.com/articles/faida3_37.htm) \n\nIf the supplier does not have web-site - be extra cautious. The anonymous nature of Internet is a convenient cover for international frauds and scamsters, though not having a web-site does not make any company suspicious. Just be extra cautious !\n\nThe second approach is little expensive. Please visit a reputed third party business evaluator such as Dun and Bradstreet who has offices in most countries including China and Japan. You can find D@B web-site at http://www.dnb.com/us/\n\nD@B has risk assessment services specially for importers like you.\n\nHope the above helps\n\nWarm Regards\n\nAmit

Surely, the existence of merchant accounts overseas is normal, but I'd be cautious about working with someone who is offering services as an offshore entity unless you're confident they are a legitimate entity.  There's lots of room for fraud, going this route.

This sounds dodgy to me, are you visiting illegal sites?

BE CAREFUL!!! This might or might not be legitimate. It could be a porn site disguised as innocent stuff but it's not really. Or there could be another devious purpose for this question. Use discretion to decide whether to open it or not. \n\nTo the asker, if this is legitimate, I am very sorry, but I know that people do take advantage of others with something like this. If I'm correct though, you should be extremely ashamed of yourself!

Nobody should give that. It is a security concern. You may login to the company website for any disclosed phone numbers...

Absolutely not!\n\nAsk for business references that can be verified, and check them.

That's private information. \n\nAny place that states it can give you that information is most probably either a scam or illegal.

Its not legit.  Someone is trying to hijack you account.\n\nYahoo would never have to ask you for your password.  They already have it.

it does not look like a legitimate email...do not send sensitive information thru it... visit the http://www.cic.gc.ca/ website for accurate information....

I would check with the better business bureau.  \n\ndo not give ANYONE your bank account information. \n\nit sounds fishy to me...you should check with the police if they have had incidents with this company.

There are plenty of legitmate and safe (Yahoo has one, for example), but the bottom line is you want the one with the most traffic.  That's ebay...the 800 pound gorilla that can do what it wants.

Those are all scams. Basically if it sounds too good to be true, it isn't true. All of your scams will ask for personal information or money. Just don't respond and save yourself some heartache.

That site didn't work for me... are you sure it isn't a scam?\n\nOkay, a second try and now it seems to work.  A quick check of WHOIS shows the site registed to Boling Jiang in Overland Park, Kansas. Not sure what his business model is, but it sure seems like a very good offer. But you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true...\n\nBack again with another edit... I noticed several typos on their home page, and slow response in clicking on links. The forum wouldn't open and their FAQ link returned an error.  The bottom paragraph says, "So What's the Catch? \nThere is none! You only have to follow our guidelines and we place a small collapsible text banner on your page. That's right, only quality web hosting and reliable servers! Sign up today for some speedy hosting!"\n\nA search of Google only showed a few hits for sites on their servers (scsc.3000mb.com was one) but it didn't show a text banner as far as I could tell.

It's almost certainly bogus.\n\nThe big giveaway is if they ask for your password.\n\nThis is called a "phishing" attack.

DON'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING PERSONAL!!!!!  IF HE REALLY IS LEGIT, THEN HE COULD LOG IN W/O NEEDING TO KNOW YOUR PASSWORD!!!
