Welcome to the internet, the next frontier in merchandising and shopping and online business, also welcome to the many new ways to be scammed and ripped off.
 
There are business which get scammed out of money all the time, and get frauded and even identify theft has caused the loss of business to the point where major corporations like HP had credit card companies say they will refuse to deal with them.

Rule 1. Check their web site, how professional is it?  What is their return policy, is there a 1-800 number?  Do they have contact info, how professional is the whole thing?
