I'd try to tackle this a couple of ways.  First I would go to yahoo finace and see if they are a listed company.  Assuming you've found a listed company I would type in their ticker.  See what kind of news they have and then see if they have institutional holdings!!!  You can do that on yahoo finace or you can go to nasdaq.com and type in the ticker.  there you can click on institional holdings and they will actaully tell you the top 5 or so funds that hold that equity.  If they are funds you've heard of I'd feel pretty good about the company.  some examples GGB, PCU, PRB just to name a few in latin america.\n\nGood luck

Use this free business database to verify their legal status:\n\nhttp://www.hoovers.com/free/\n\nIf they do not show up, they are not legitimate.\n\nif you are still not sure, contact your local librarian to access more business databases.

check with the better business bureau to see if any complaints have been launched. \n\nDon't give money, unless you are sure they are legit. \n\nask to see references from other "clients".\n\nSee their location, and ask for background information of the company.\n\ngood luck.

Go to ec21.com.  It is a business to business community centered in (but not exclusive to) Asia.  Click the list on the industry or business type and check out their offerings.  Some are fakes but many are real (and not all are in China).  Good luck.

From the perspective of someone in the US occasionally looking for suppliers abroad, think how they often search for business partners from other countries:\n\n1. Make sure your company is listed in databases kept by your trade attaches in your embassies. Many companies first go-to place when they want suppliers from abroad are the respective embassies of the countries they want to deal with. Contact your department of foreign affairs to check how to get your name in their listings.\n\n2. Be in databases such as Thomas Register Global http://www.tremnet.com  is the most complete, up-to-date directory of global industrial suppliers and product information\n\n3. Participate in international trade fairs supported by your government, whether based in Thailand or international. Trade shows are your best bet to meeting potential clients from other countries. Even if you don't advertise and can only do this, make sure you do trade shows. Trade shows can connect you to the right audience you need.

You can do several things:\n\nGo to http:www.internic.com to do a WHOIS check.  Find out where the domain is registered, and see if contact information provided is complete and accurate.   You can use Yahoo maps or google earth to verify addresses.\n\nDo an internet search of the company name on the web to see if anyone has posted any comments, good or bad, about the company.\n\nIf company is in the US you can check with the better business bureau at www.bbb.org
