    Wow, never even heard of that. From the sounds of it, it could be a VERY nice payday. Hope it works out without any hitches. Good luck.

    I don't want to bust any bubbles but I would be wary of something like that. I do a lot of selling on eBay and Craigslist and used to get emails from foreign people saying they wanted my item and they would pay by wire transfer yada yada yada. I hope I'm just being paranoid and this works out for you though. I just had to throw that out there.

    Shipping scrap FROM Asia TO the USA? Texas? Ten tons of it? By truck freight? Via New York? :confused: I'm scratching my head trying to figure this out!

    I would strongly suggest you set up a separate account for this transaction.

    I would have to agree with that. Somehow when that whole wire transfer scam started the people would get access to your bank account and clear it out. If you have a separate account there would be none of your money in there if, God forbid, that did happen.

    Try a letter of credit... should be safest method of payment.
