from what I hear. When credit cards get stolen something like 70% of them go to Indonesia. You should demand that the money be cleared and in your possession before you ship the product. Also I would not adjust the shipping papers for him, seems a little shaddy.

I own a computer store and we had a problem a few months back with a guy that wanted to buy like $4,000 worth of memory. He gave us a credit card, we ran it (did not charge it, just checked it out) it cleared. But we thought it was kinda weird that we could never get ahold of this guy on the phone. So we stalled for about a week. Then finally the card came up stolen. We never heard from him agian. Now we get somewhere around 3 or 4 of these scams a month. But we just say, money has to be cleared and in our possession before we will make a move. This particular guy claimed he was in Georgia i think and we would have had NO LEGAL recourse. So you wouldn't have any either considering your customer is out of the country (or so he says).
