Who are you buying from? It may be someone we can confirm is reliable. Also check out vendor reviews to see if they are listed there
As for sending money, I would use a credit card if possible. If not, then paypal is probably your next safest way.
Be sure to do your research first. We have seen a lot of scammers mentioned on this forum. Luckily I don't think we have ever had any members actually be scammers, but members asking about different places
If it sounds to good to be true, price wise, it most likely is. Also if they sell too many different species and are not that takes credit cards I would be cautious.

If you do use Paypal, keep in mind that some sellers will ask that you use 'friends & families' so they don't have to pay fees. This also means you can not dispute the transaction if theres a problem.
