Spotting red flags early is the most critical defense against increasingly sophisticated international trade fraud, including AI-generated deepfakes and forged digital documents. 

Red Flags When Dealing with Buyers (Answer)

  • Urgent or High-Pressure Tactics: Scammers often create a sense of extreme urgency to force exporters into bypassing standard verification protocols.
  • Suspicious Payment Requests: Be wary of buyers insisting on unconventional methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers to accounts in countries unrelated to the transaction.
  • Overpayment Scams: A buyer "accidentally" sends a check for more than the agreed amount and asks you to refund the difference. The original payment is always fraudulent.
  • Generic or Free Email Domains: Genuine buyers typically use corporate domains (e.g., @companyname.com). Avoid inquiries from free providers like @gmail.com or @outlook.com.
  • Mismatch in Company Data: Watch for inconsistent information, such as shipping addresses that differ wildly from billing addresses or business locations that appear as residential houses on Google Maps.
  • Vague Product Requirements: Serious buyers have specific technical needs. Red flags include a buyer who is unfamiliar with product features or refuses to provide details on the end-use of the goods.
  • Upfront Fee Requests: Be alert if a buyer asks you to pay "advance registration fees," "agent commissions," or "document clearance charges" before they can place a large order.
  • Too-Good-to-Be-True Offers: Unexpected bulk orders with high margins from first-time contacts often signal a scam designed to lure you into a trap.
