I think I have been scammed by the following Indonesian Company.
Sofjancam.com

I am only new to importing and think I have learnt a hard lesson.
I contacted this company and arranged to have a sample item sent out. I paid US$800 via T/T. The comapny at first were very keen and responded to my Emails quickly. Then last Friday they said the item was with UPS ready to ship and they would send the shipping details on Monday. I hadn't heard anything by Wednesday so I called them and they said there was a problem with Customs. Since then they have not returned my Emails or Calls.

Is there any action I can take or have I lost my money and a little bit of faith in the system.
Once bitten twice shy they say.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

On some rare occasions, it's possible to reverse the transfer if you go talk to your bank as soon as possible. Except for that, I'm afraid there usually is not much that can be done. These people are criminals and usually know how to remain anonymous, any information they have given you will not be easily traceable to their real identities. Trying to recover a sum like US$800 will most likely not be worth it. Reporting it to the police is always a good thing to do, though they will probably not investigate it.

We are new trader. I have some problem with mobile dealer. Last month, I scammed from worst dealer. I transfered money to dealer for order mobile first lot. But after that they don’t ship the mobile to me. I called to them but can’t connect. So I would like to know “whom scammed same me” Please tell me.






Last the question :


Please offer about reliably mobile dealer for order mobile in the future.
