Hello Christopher,


I have got a Chinese buyer who has given me the same company registration number. The address that they gave me is :

Company Name	:	M/S HUNAN XIANGTAN CO., LTD
Address	:	Kantan, Xiangtan City, Hunan, China.
Contact Numbers:	:	+86 732 8651114, +86 732 8651118 (Fax)

Could you verify this company? Please let me know friend. This will be really helpful.

Murali from what I understand you have been contacted by a buyer in Hunan province in China. My advice is to be very careful.

There is a scam which can come from any where in China but seems to see a lot of action in Hunan. Here is how it plays itself out:

1. You get a contact from a buyer that is very interested in your products, has a large order to offer, and needs a quick shipment;

2. You get invited to China to sign contracts etc and finalize the order;

3. Upon your visit they will hit you up for gifts and expensive courtesies for them and their 'bosses' to help ensure that the order goes through;

4. There is no order and you will only find this out after you have returned to your own country minus what ever you have spent on them.

My advice is to:

a. let the supplier know that your company cannot buy gifts or make any payments until the order is signed and an LC in place. Tell them that is a company regulation and it cant be waived;

b. check out the buyer as far as whether they have a track record of buying and selling the product that you are selling. If they have such big orders they must have some track record that you can refer to;

c. ask them specific technical or product related questions that they should know the answers to if they are familiar with your products.

Good luck.

You can verify these info in the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce. The link is http://www.saic.gov.cn/. Hope it's helpful for you. Any question, don't hesitate to contact me via TM. I am mike from shenzhen, china.

Where do you enter the company information (reg no, name etc.) on www.saic.gov.cn for validation?
