How to know an online company is real / fraud ?

Question

How to know that a online company is real / not ?

Especially at outside US, such as china.

I found a company in china that I'm interested with their product.

They ask me to send the money through Western Union, Money Gram, t/t but I'm afraid if they wont send the merchandise.

What kind transaction is secure to avoid a internet fraud.

Any suggestion / idea for me ?

Thank You.

Answer 3

Every company I have researched so far from china had an escrow account. you pay the escrow company they don't release the funds until you receive your product and are satisfied with it. if they are asking you to do it any other way then find someone else to do business with.

The escrow account is there to protect you and the seller.
