Dealing with African suppliers can be a nightmare. The last few years I have built relationships in Cameroon, Uganda, and Tanzania. I still do not ever send money in advance as you are just asking for trouble if you do. Another tactic African suppliers use after you have paid for a few shipments is that they send unauthorized shipments of specimens with the hope that you will pay for them! I recently received 800 Phymateus leprosus that were not ordered or authorized by me. Adam has given some great advice above - plain and simple do not send these guys money in advance.
