Bank Transfer (Scam Mail) Such scam mail originated in Nigeria but now emanates from other countries.
Often, victims of this scam receive an introduction letter via email. In such a letter they are usually told a story about a wealthy person (for example a rich businessman or government official) who has died. The letter asks the receiver to provide a bank account where the deceased's money can be deposited safely, and promises to give 20%-30% of the total money as compensation.

Pro forma Invoice (to get your personal information) Some fraudsters may ask for a pro forma invoice when they do
business with you, and then after you provide this, they may attempt to withdraw your funds, and purchase samples using your good name and business reputation. Your stolen identity may even be used to help con the fraudster's next victim.
Credit card Be very careful if a business partner you meet through the internet informs you that they can only send you payment by check or credit card. If you accept these payment methods you are running a risk that the checks have been forged, or the credit card numbers stolen, and
ultimately you may have to bear the loss.
