I have been in contact with an agent with piggytrade through ec21. I was wondering if I should be leary with cutting a deal through Western Union with him. Have looked into as much as I could regarding their company, but just was needing advice from someone else, thanks. Company is from China.

piggytrade? sweet.. can you pay with bacon?
I would avoid paying with WU, you have 0 recourse.

yeah never do any transactions with WU dude. Try using escrow or L/C

I just got scammed, so I'm fit to give some advice!

Yes, never use WU.. Refuse to do business with anyone who
insists on WU.

Make that your number one rule.

Also just saw a great tip from Whisper.

I've found all my niche good suppliers from trade*key. You only have to post one ad and look around for a little bit and you will have an overwhelming response being that your product is in supply. Ali*baba has NOT worked out well for me at all, been scammed for over $500 on there, probably great for some things but for electronics and what not it's a cesspool of shithead scammers.

Make sure you googlemap every business address and see if it lands in an open desert or it actually looks like a business establishment.
