Default How to make sure safe online business?

Hello everybody, I am from Malaysia. Here i just want to ask about how do we make sure the safety using online business. I was thinking about ordering some electronic devices from one unknown company. I just find out about this company in one forum which is mesra.net forum. In the advertisement, they just give their gmail which is electronicpoweroutlet@gmail.com. but not their website. That is why i felt a little bit curious about the company. In addition, it was stated in the advertisement that payment can be made by using western union. So, can anybody give some opinion on how can i make sure wether its safe or not for me to order things from them?

Dear gigantobot

Welcome to 419Legal.

First of all it is always UNSAFE to settle the payments thru Western Union with unknown sellers.
It is recommendable to deal with seller in a shopping website which provides escrow service.
The advertisement only with commodity price list and no website is normally fake and receives a big caution!!
Anyone can make an advertisement in a social portal site or a forum and usually there is no protection for buyers.
Finally a "Miracle-working Mantra" ; “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”
