IT TOOK PLACE DURING 3RD WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2006. ..YOU ARE RIGHT EXACTLY JUST A FEW DAYS BACK ONLY IT HAPPENED TO ME.
I KNEW THAT I AM DEALING WITH A CHEATER BUT ALLOWED HIM TO CONTINE...PLEASE READ MY STORY
Last week i have come across with one urea deal. Some one approched me from Alibaba. As usual they have asked for a quote. I gave my quote. The person told me that the quote was required for Ministry. THE TEMPTING OFFER WAS 100% ADVANCE T/T PAYMENT.( I have doubted here itself)
He/she asked me to send a proforma invoice and I have done it immediatley. I sent it in the morning and in the evening the concerned person told me that Ministry has approved my Proforma Invoice and I will be getting Tender Award Certificate.
A neat Tender award certificate. Neatly typed and printed company names.
THE FUNNY PART OF THE CONTRACT WAS ..NO TELEPHONE NUMBER OR CONTACT DETAILS. As I know that concern person trying to cheat me. Still kept quite and wanted to know what would be his next move.
Exactly there was a mail stating next day morning Advance T/T will be released from the Ministry's bank to my company account.
But in the evening, again there was a mail stating that some problem...some UK company is trying to win this contract and wanted some thing should be done.
The person asked me to contact some security company and pay US DOLLAR 8000 TOWARDS TENDER FEES so that this deal will be for our company.
Again I was silent to know what will be their next move. So they started calling in phone and frequent phone calls asking to comply with the proceedure to get 100% Advance T/T. They made me to hurry up.
AT LAST I TOLD THAT PERSON...LOOK...YOU HAVE GIVEN A CERTIFICATE ..WHERE IS THE PHONE NUMBER OF MINISTRY...THE PERSON COULD NOT ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. ALSO I TOLD HIM/HER POLITELY IT IS NOT OUR COMPANY POLICY TO SEND MONEY (USD 8000) AND TAKE ORDERS.
NOW THAT PERSON CAME TO KNOW THAT THEIR TRICKS WILL NOT WORK OUT WITH ME...THEY STOPPED SENDING MAIL, STOPPED CHATTING and VANISHED.
BEWARE...HE/SHE IS EXISITNG IN THIS ALBABA....LIKE HIM/HER THERE ARE MANY...SO BETTER BE AWARE OF MY STORY WHICH TOOK PLACE LAST WEEK ONLY.
I CAN INFORM ALIBABA WEBSITE MANAGER ABOUT HIS/HER ACTIVITIES AND GET HIS/HER ACCOUNT SUSPENDED...WHAT IS THE USE..THEY WILL RESURFACE AGAIN IN DIFFERENT FORM. SO IT IS THEIR TURN TO LEARN A LESSON FROM US.
FACE THE CHEATERS BOLDLY AND LEARN THEIR TRICKS WITHOUT LOOSING YOUR MONEY.
With regards

It is true they will simply register a new profile. But by getting it closed you can at least slow them down, and just in case someone is about to fall for them that may be enough to make them suspicious.
There are forums where people communicate with scammers to waste their time and resources, or just as a hobby. It's called scambaiting. Here's an example with a few Alibaba scammers:
