Import and Export business question: Accepting payments for overseas companies?
by Guest Author on Friday, October 30th, 2009 | 1 Comment
The basic idea is that their customers pay you and then you send these funds to the company that is somewhere overseas. I have seen these for companies based in China, Hong Kong, Japan and now Togo Africa. Are these scams? Identity theft scams? Or just what? I really do not see the reasoning behind these companies paying 10% to an agent to accept money from customers when the customers themselves can just send these funds directly to the company.
Anybody have any insights? Is this a legit part of the import and export business?
If it is too good to be true, then it is probably too good to be true.
