text: is it safe to if someone emails you to join a money venture on-line..? from another country.?   sure if you're good at checking out people and business in other countries and good at writing contracts, and know what you're doing.  otherwise you have a lot of money to pay attorney's to be responsible for all of that and check references and make sure everything is legitimate, legal, and up front.  surely you're not talking about blindly handing over some money are you? or doing business with someone you haven't checked out first? do you know what the laws are of that country, or how they are different from ours, or if our laws apply there? what is your recourse if they skip?
