HI,
After spending almost 5 hours (just for today) reading this thread and doing checks on a company I still don't know if i am going to be scammed or not....
I am quite new to importing from china.. The case is :
I looked on the internet for a Chinese manufacturer he gave me MOQ quotation , SGS certificate, presentation, some pictures.BUT they require T/T and balance before shipping.
I did my homework but not yet convinced that its not a scam, i mean it is maybe a reliable company but that does not stop for example The contact person to get my cash and turn his back.
So the company is called:
Shenzhen Yimahong S&T Development Company

Tel:86-755-25984869;86-755-25984018

I would be highly suspicicious under the facts that you have described, especially when payment can only be accomplished by Western Union transfer. The reason that payment is by Western Union is that you will never know that would pick up your payment and the identity of the person you paid. Depending you the laws and regulations of the your country, in the US where I practice law, I always advised clients not to pay through Western Union because it is not possible to trace your money, one of the highly effective methods to find who the unscrupulous people are.

It seemed you have done your due diligence to check out the company. When transacting with a foreign companies, international law like the United Nations Convention of International Sales of Goods, or UN CISG 1980, applies. You may also have additional rights afforded by your home country. The best methods is protect your investment by using other secure methods of payments such as L/C, which will allow you to inspect the goods/merchandises after it has arrived to your destination. That said, I would also trust your guts instinct. As the says goes, if it is too good to be true, it probably is.

Firstly please excuse how naive i may seem but i'm just doing as much research as humanly possible before i decide what i'm planning on importing
After reading through all the precautions, checks and stories of transactions gone by the wayside, is it an idea to say that if a seller has a lengthy trustpass membership e.g. 1 1/2 - 2 yrs plus with payment methods other than and including W/U and T/T they could be considered as trustworthy

Replying to [tonymac]:Tony, Was recently scammed by a company called SHENZHEN TIALNLING ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY CO LTD. When I went so far as to call Alibaba I was told "We are only a middle man. We are not responsible. Specifically I oreded "Ipod Nano 4GB" and got cheap knockoffs. Good luck on your end too. FYI-reputable companies will allow escrow with a partial down payment. Never again will I send to a comapny requiring western union payment. Good luck everyone!
