If you find that the seller is unwilling to offer answers to the questions you are raising or make claims that seem too good to be true then you should take your business elsewhere.

– Before you even think about handing over any money then make sure that you get everything put down in writing. You can either ask them to provide a handwritten note which they can fax or email. But whatever method you use this will provide you with an avenue to contact the seller again should any problems arise.
