When I was a Audio dealer Eve way back in 2000 in the U.K at the time I was getting bogus checks from Africa,
I even got burned for $12k after Barclays Bank said it was good , come to find out
someone working in NY city copied a wealthy persons credit card #
it went to Jacarta Indonesia i tod then to stop shipment and send back
they had a inside man at the hub there who ignored the stop ,myself and hundreds of other $$ pieces of equipment elsewhere , which would be over $20k today.
If they want to do a wire transfer to your ban that is fine , any checks have to be cleared by your bank and verified before shipping Anything.
