It's more important than ever to develop strong rapport with your merchants. Keep the lines of communication always open. Let them know that unscrupulous parties might try to contact them and ask them to notify you if it happens. Position yourself as the customer's advocate. Don't put yourself in a situation where you can get blindsided. If your merchant got funded behind your back and left you in the dark, then you didn't have much of a relationship with him to begin with.
