ICPO's are often requested by legitmate suppliers to commit you to purchase a product and prove you have the funds. However, ICPOs can be used by scammers who do not have a product in their hand. They take your ICPO and if you're lucky will use it in a "fishing trip" trying to find your product from some other supplier. You are tied down with your bank, because you have commited that money to be spent with them. The validity of the ICPO should be as short as you can get away with, so that the scammers can't make use of it as some financial instrument to be negotiated on the money market.
