Pablo,
I guess that would make a lot of sense to someone used to dealing with
taxes and such!! As for identity theft ... I have to submit a W9 to companies
in the US that pay for a license. So this being a reputable firm in Romania I
doubt is identity theft but you are right they would have some personal info -
much like the W9 form requested in the US. To clarify, this company has used
my image for the last ten years as part of a license they paid for at that
time. They want to continue using it for another ten yeras. That is where the
transaction is at this time. FYI the fee we are talking about is $3000
Euros.
Once I got paid by an outfit in France. The French taxes on the
transaction amounted to about 1/2 the $180 fee. Then I had to deal with the US
bank cashing a French cheque. In the end there was not much left for me!
So, I am in a quandary ... I think the legal thing to do is to send them
the 6166, no? It would cost me $85 to get that form. I don't think the company
uses PayPal. I could ask. But then what?
Something to think about. Ideas? Suggestions?
Andy
