Read that long discussion on a scam. Here's the bottom line: never give banking info to anyone out of this country unless you have no money in the account. You then insist on an irreversible transfer. You can even go SWIFT for security if need be. Give me your account number and I'll take every penny you have as well as steal your identity. You could also open a separate account for such business, having funds enter but never leave, your bank will take care of you. There are many ways to protect your self, just think or ask questions. If someone is out of this country and steals from you, you are dead in the air. Should you find yourself in the position to deal with international funds, then go to an international bank that does that as a norm. You must keep in mind that 99% of the people in the "normal" banks that would deal with your account, DON'T KNOW A THING! I do international business 24/7, including fund transfers, and it can be safe!
