Dear shine soman..
please help here , i have been recieving email letters from these west and central african countries, offering my company sweet contract deals to supply one of my products to their governments...
They request all forms of documentations from company letter heads,to bank accout details..etc
i need o know how genuine are these letters, or are these an attempt to defraud us......they request samples ... but are not prepared to pay for them...,, ...they always say that the payment is 100%t/t advance,...and they tend to be very large amounts ..of over 2million dollars.

Do you know anything about a company called, Beijing Lvjin Jumao International Trade Co, Ltd. They are in china. After I orderd my products they said they needed more money because the products were held up in Chinese customs. Could this be true.

Replying to [GadgetGirl]:
Dear GadgetGirl,
Please do chat with the concerned person of that company about your product requirements and get back to me with the name of the CEO, Phone number, Address and website. I shall let you know the rest..
cheers,

Replying to [ShineSoman]:Hi, i was about to buy 5 Apple Iphones but something told me not to, which is when i started reading about these fraud stories. I was talking to a company with the name Putian Chengxiang Xingfu Trade Co., Ltd. on Alubaba and had another website which was www.xingfutrade.com. They have a TrustP *, which is what my question is about. If t hey have a TrustPass does that mean they are Safe? I asked the "salesman" i was speaking with the CEO an their license number and he gave me a name and said he would give me the license number tomorrow cause the CEO was sleeping. I didnt even answer him back after that. Is a TrustPass even trustworthy? I was searching by companies that had TrustP *, is that pointless? Thanks, Jenny

Replying to [ShineSoman]:Is there any way to contact the government in China to help stop these scammers or are they not worried about the image that their country has developed. I'm sure there are allot of legit companies in China that would love to sell their goods some place else.
I'm new at this trading overseas and have learned allot from the school of hard knocks. But if anyone could point me in the right direction for purchasing electronics, computers, plasma tv's, mp3, etc... it would be a big help.
How difficult are the companies from Japan to deal with?
Thanks
Carlos
