Does anyone have some suggestions for where to learn about doing business over the internet, without getting 'taken'? If, for example, an existing 'bricks & mortar' business wants to expand, what do they need to watch out for? Especially since thecustomers aren't physically standing in your store! I believe it's hard for honest businesspersons to think like the crooks... are there resources to show the warning signs for credit card fraud, bad checks, etc. Are there banks and/or clearing houses that specialize in these transactions? Thanks to anyone who can send me in the right direction.
