I. The authenticity of a project should be judged by whether it exceeds the scope of business operations.
When discussing cooperation items with the other party, learn about their business scope in detail. If the other party's actions in the cooperation project exceed the scope of business operations approved by their business registration, then the other party's actions are at least illegal and should be given high attention. If necessary, consult legal professionals. Avoid rash decisions and reckless spending.
II. Understand the content of contract notarization and witnessing.
Generally speaking, the content of notarization and witnessing only proves that the signatures of both parties on the contract are authentic. The authenticity of the signature does not necessarily mean the authenticity of the content of the contract itself. Therefore, when signing a contract, you should be more cautious and not be easily deceived by the external form of the contract.
III. Verify the authenticity of the other party's personnel and unit.
For the transaction object, manufacturers should verify the authenticity of the other party's personnel and unit by checking ID cards or inquiring about information from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to prevent criminals from using false identities and units to defraud.
IV. Pay attention to abnormal phenomena during the transaction process.
Although criminals have come up with many more concealed methods of fraud, they are not without traces in the implementation process. This requires merchants to be more cautious during the transaction process and pay attention to some abnormal phenomena, such as a sudden increase in transaction volume after several transactions, delays in handing over goods, inconsistencies in information provided by the other party's personnel, frequent changes in contact methods, etc. *Strictly avoid the separation of personnel and goods. In most cases, criminals who want to defraud goods will try every means to separate the delivery person from the goods. While delaying the delivery person, their accomplices will temporarily hide the goods. Therefore, when delivering goods, the supplier should avoid separating personnel and goods if they have not received sufficient payment, giving criminals an opportunity to take advantage of.
V. Make full use of the resources of government functional departments and the financial system to promptly verify the authenticity of items and bills used as collateral.
In the transaction process, if the other party uses real estate, goods, or bills as collateral, you should promptly verify the authenticity and whether the items used as collateral are repeatedly mortgaged through real estate and banking departments to reduce the probability of being deceived.
VI. For unfamiliar purchasers, try to avoid collecting their issued "post-dated checks".
Because using "empty post-dated checks" to commit fraud is a common method used by criminals, they often use the "period" of paying the goods to transfer the goods and then abscond or abscond after selling the goods.
