Alright guys most of you dealt with China and other countries, sent money and got ZERO in return sending that money Western Union!
Here is a way to find out if the person in India you are dealing with is legit or not.

They require a "Export Licence Number" to ship things out of the country. To check on them go to the link below. You would require the name of the person and their "IEC" number "Export Licence Number" and their name also. Whatever contact information they provide will show up once you put it in the search. It will give you their phone number, cell number, website, email, contact person, and what field of business they are in. So once you can confirm from this, it's very good! I wish China had something like that.
In my case my friends business name was the 3 letters. This is what it shows you.

"Also most of you can go check the registry of the website at register.com under who is to find out how long the website has been in business for. Better to deal with someone who has registered more then 12 months ago. Also go to Google and type in their business name + the word "scams" or "scam" at times put in their phone number and email address to see if anything pops up. Those are some ways of being sure that you will not get scammed."
I have a friend in India who does things for me from time to time and he told me and explained it too me.
Hopefully this puts a smile on your face! But does anyone know if China have anything like this? I got scammed out of ipods, but I got them, but they were JUNK!
