Hi,
I've also been scamed. I ordered 700 pieces of sandals worth USD1800 with multiple sizes. However, when t came, it came in 70% size XS and only a few of the size I wanted. It is a male type of sandals, but if it come in size XS, how can I sell it? It is a total breach of the PI that was agreed.
Can someone help me to get my money back?
Even if I am unable to get my money back, is it possible to stop this scammer and warn everyone about them before they strike another poor victim?
Anyone kind people that can help, do email me at twc842002@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance

Quoting from [spaander]:
Replying to [lawyer_He]: hello, I like your article, for me personally, this article brings me at least 3 steps forwards in my efforts to deal with Chinese companies. But I also like to know the other way, Me selling something to a Chinese company, than travelling to them, signing an agreement and than........................nothing, only expenses and frust.
Hello Spaander, what your experienced is another kind of trap. You can check my post about this and a gang of scammers in this kind of tricks have been sent to prison here in Shenzhen.

I know "IF IT LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS" now.
Well I was taken also from a camera company located in China, GoCameraShop.com, and should have known better. I always prided myself on not being scammed, and never would. Ya right.
I have come to the conclusion that it is a lesson learned and I don't expect to get my money back. I would just like to be able to report this to a common place so other people can check before buying something from scammers like this. I know if it is removed from the Web, it would just show up under another name.

I have been scammed by a company gold member called GUIYANG YC TRADING (malik). they took my money and never delivered any goods. I tried to post a warning to others on ALIBABA but they did not allow the advert to be posted, I feel that ALIBABA are just as responsible for the actions of their members. they should allow people to publish the names of the scammers so they cant do any trade. I would not advise any persons or companies to do business through alibaba especially with the chineese as they are all crooks, and for those who are honest, well the scammers have given them bad names too. The most annoying thing is that once scammed there is nothing anyone can really do to recover all the losses. ALL HONEST BUSINESSES BEWARE OF THE SCAMMERS OUT THERE ESPECIALLY GUIYANG YC TRADING. PLEASE LETS ALL GET TOGETHER AND STOP THESE THEIVING WANKERS FROM TRADING.

Sir,
Could i ckeck the company named Super-Elec Distributor LTD located at
No.256,2/F.,Saibo Building, HuaQiang North Rd, FuTian District Shenzhen
Guangdong 518001 China.
I bought 10 Sony PSP worth 650USD via western union and the supplier
(ZENG XIANGYING) told me that it was shipped through a shipping agent Sinotech International Ltd with EMS tracking number
# EB100186308CN through a certain Mr Jack and after a few days he mailed me stating:

Hello Sir,
It is 16:47pm on Monday afternoon here. I just got a urgent call from
my forwarder and they told me that the shipment was stuck at the custom
while tried to declare from Chinese Export Custom on Yesterday.
The custom officials were holding the shipment, it was because they
found following reasons about our shipment:
1. Brand Sony-without Sony original permit certificate, they do not
allow to ship any brand products. Or, they will catch the shipment.
2. Since 2009 in Shenzhen city, do not allow to ship out any brand
products like Sony, Apple etc, only the original manufacturer that can
show the permit certificate can ship.
Except above, my personal opinion is, the custom officials are just
greedy and making a way to earn our money. They are the God and they
can tell which we can go. Now we are just unluck and being hold and
they have asked us to pay penalty so they will just release our
shipment.
My forwarder advised that the penalty amount will be same as actual
product amount. So, the custom requested us to pay US$600 for the
penalty. After we paid, they will sign their name and release our
shipment. If we did not pay, they will treat that we are running
illegal business and will keep our shipment.
I am sorry, but i did not know this change this year. I have shipped so
many brand items this year and no problem. I think it is very simple to
understand that the custom people are just greedy, they are just making
an excuse to need our pay. This is also not anyone's mistake, because
once the custom make a policy then nobody can against it.
As a responsilbe seller, i would love to pay full penalty myself, only
in case of my mistake or fault. But, if i paid the full penalty this
time, which means will bring me no margin at all. So, i wish we can
help each other and see what is your good idea by return.
I won't go away, and i just hope i can resolve this issue as soon as
possible, the best way i can do is i can pay 300USD myself so to help
you, this can make up my loss and also yours. So, can you also pay
300USD yourself then we help each other to take back the shipment
first? I think this way looks fair and next deal we can find a way to
earn back our loss.
The custom give deadline only until tomorrow on Tuesday. So, please
make a decision fast. By now i can only give 300USD, if you agree,
please send half penalty 300USD before tomorrow, so i can pay full
penalty to the custom and then get back the shipment. And, at the same
day, it will be going on plane and you can check it online.
I am sorry about this matter, but i also just get this information not
a long time ago. I will be waiting on MSN if you still need to talk to
me.
Kind Regards
Benson
