How do I know if a supplier is reliable?

The best way to reduce fraud when trading either online or offline, is for buyers and suppliers to conduct proper due diligence before entering into any transaction. None of the suppliers on Bossgoo.com are guaranteed to be honest, so it is important to conduct proper research before commencing business. Tips on verifying your supplier :

1. Verify the supplier's identity. For Gold Suppliers, you can refer to the Company Profile on their bossgoo.com minister or the website of their own. You should also use other offline/online methods to verify the supplier.

2. Verify the supplier's manufacturing/trading capability. You can also refer to the supplier’s Member Info of their manufacturing/trading capability. Ask for the supplier's bank reference letters to verify their financial credit worthiness.

3. Order a sample first to check the quality and to ensure that the product is what you are looking for. If the product you are ordering is too large to get samples, we suggest asking the supplier’s previous customers for reference.

4. Search for online complaints or comments about the supplier authentication and verification inspection by Bossgoo.com

5. Look for Gold Suppliers that are long-term members on Bossgoo.com. While Gold Supplier membership is not a guarantee of safety, these suppliers have passed an authentication and verification inspection by Bossgoo.com, that increases the chances of safe and positive trading experience. If a member has been a Gold Supplier for several years, then they are potentially an even better trading partner as they have a long history on our site. While we have many reliable, safe and high quality Free Members, you should always be extra careful when trading with them, as they have not been through verified in any way by Bossgoo.com. You must always be cautious of using untraceable wire service transfers with suppliers (especially the free member) you do not know. These are highly risky and susceptible to fraud.

How can I keep my passwords secure and confidential?

1. Don't reveal passwords to others
   Keep your passwords hidden from anyone who could pass them on to less trustworthy individuals.Be sure to safeguard your answers to password recovery questions (i.e. "What was your mother's maiden name?" etc.). Don't reveal these answers to others and don't choose questions with answers that are freely available on the internet.

2. Protect any recorded passwords
   Be careful where you store the passwords that you record or write down. Don't store passwords on a file in your computer, because criminals are most likely to look there first. Don't carry passwords around in your wallet or hide them in obvious places, such as under your keyboard Don't leave a record/written message of your passwords anywhere that you would not normally leave personal information (esp. in a public place, etc.)

3. Never provide your password via email or in response to an email request
   Any email message that requests your password or requests you to go to a website to verify your password is almost certainly a fraud. This includes requests from trusted companies or individuals. Emails can be intercepted in transit, and email messages that request information might not be from the senders they claim to be from. Internet "phishing" scams use fraudulent email messages to entice you to reveal your usernames and passwords and steal your identity. Learn more about phishing scams and how to deal with online fraud.

4. Do not type passwords on computers that you do not control
   Computers in public places, such as at internet cafes, computer labs, shared systems, at kiosks, conferences, and airport lounges should be considered unsafe for any personal use other than anonymous Internet browsing. Do not use public computers to visit chat rooms, check online email for bank balances, business emails, or any other personal, financially-based accounts that require you to enter a username and password. Criminals can purchase keystroke logging devices for very little money and they take only a few moments to install. With these devices, malicious users can gather information typed on a computer from across the Internet—your passwords and passphrases are worth as much as the information that they protect.

5. Use more than one password
   Use different passwords for different websites and services. If any of the computers or online systems using a particular password are compromised, all of your other information protected by that same password should be considered compromised as well.
