listen carefully and remember exactly the conditions offered to you (the amount of amounts, the name of goods and the nature of services, the timing and methods of transferring a bribe, the form of commercial bribery, the sequence of solving issues);
try to postpone the question of the time and place of the transfer of the bribe until the next conversation and offer a place you are familiar with for the next meeting;
don't take it;
if you have a dictaphone, try to record (secretly) an offer of a bribe or extortion. take the initiative in the conversation, "work for the reception" more, let the potential bribe-taker (bribe-giver) "talk it out", tell you as much information as possible
