Indonesia is notorious for credit card fraud. I have some friends in the musical instrument business and from bitter experience, they either have a rule "Don't Do Business In Indonesia" or "Get The Greenbacks Before Dealing With Indonesian Customers".
What happens is an apparently legit credit card transaction comes through, the money is deposited in the account, the instrument is put on an aircraft, then the credit card transaction is reversed and the guy has lost his expensive instrument (can be US$8000 or more) AND the money. I pass this on as a warning to everyone else. Make sure you have a procedure to intercept any automatic orders, so you don't send anything off to Indonesia without having the money in the bag and locked away where they can't get it.

This merchant says in his whole history of fullfilling orders, he has received about 400 orders from Indonesia, and not one has been legit. Thats not too good of a record :) Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
