Protect Your Money Before You Pay+

Safe Bets (You can get a refund)

  • Credit cards
  • PayPal (specifically "Goods and Services")
  • Escrow services (where your money is held safely until the goods actually arrive)
  • Letter of Credit (best for large, bulk orders)

Red Flags (Your money is gone for good)

  • Wire transfers to personal bank accounts
  • Crypto
  • Western Union or MoneyGram
  • Gift cards

The ultimate warning sign: If a supplier refuses cards or escrow and only pushes for non-reversible payment methods, walk away immediately. This is the number one sign of a scam. Either insist on escrow or drop the deal.

Double-check the names: The name on the bank account must perfectly match the officially registered company name. If it doesn't, stop right there.

First-time orders: Always use an independent escrow service for your first order. This ensures the supplier only gets paid after you have the goods in hand.

About

Helios Distillery produces Okinawa's traditional spirit awamori, Japan's oldest distilled liquor, made from indica rice using black koji fermentation, alongside premium rum crafted from Okinawan sugarcane. Awamori is aged in clay pots (kame) for up to 30 years. The distillery exports to Japanese spirits importers seeking authentic regional spirits with long barrel-aging credentials.
