How can you tell that they are fake documents if you have never seen an original copy before. Most people are paranoid when they come in contact with Nigerians and I can't say that I blame them at all. We are usually very careful in dealing with each other back here.

There is no official channel that may be able to help you in this regard. But if you have a trusted associate from here, he might be willing to verify the authenticity of their claims. Frankly, faking of documents is fairly common here as in most other parts of the world, but be encouraged that there are 20 genuine businessmen here for every impostor. Nigerians are really very Godly and enterprising.  Goodluck

Case Description:

A few days ago, I met a buyer who asked about the prices of our products. After working out the prices, I replied to the inquiry. The buyer accepted the quoted prices and told me they would like to visit our company for further cooperation. They asked for an invitation letter so they could get the required business visa.

I sent an invitation letter and was surprised when the buyer said a company-issued invitation letter was not accepted in their country. The buyer asked for an invitation letter from my local government instead.

After spending a lot of time preparing documents for my local government offices in Shenzhen, I finally got an invitation letter issued by the Shenzhen government and sent it to my client. Once they received the invitation letter, they stopped replying to my emails. 

Case Analysis:

Method


Some fraudsters use an export & import company to run illegal immigration rackets. The company will pretend to be buyers and ask to visit the supplier' factory to negotiate more business or inspect production facilities. For this, they will ask for an official invitation letter from the manufacturer. When they receive the invitation letter, it will then be used to apply for a visa for an illegal immigrant.

Avoid Fraud
1. If you have a new buyer, don' apply for an invitation letter from the government. Your company will be responsible for the actions of the buyer when they are in your country.

 2. At the very least, confirm the company you are dealing with is genuine before submitting the application to your government. If buyers cannot provide a company website and registration certificate, there is probably something wrong.

3. Pay special attention to buyers from Nigeria, Togo and Benin. If your buyer is from one of these countries, please thoroughly check the credibility of the company. In addition, check the age and position of your buyers. Take care with very young or low ranking buyers.

very good

Wow...hope you didn't get yourself into too much trouble.

First time i have heard of this. Usually we try to avoid dealing with African region enquiries and sometime i don't even bother to read them. Not to say that all are bad, but sometime it's simple just a case of better safe than sorry.  This region needs to find ways to clean up the image, I am sure it is hurting real and honest buyers from Africa.

Some agencies asking for invitation letters from my company. I told them that my invitation letter worth U$300 a piece for 1 person. To be paid in advance.


The people asking for my invitation letter never asked again.


We are genuine people who want to make genuine and legal business, but in some cases, people just want to take chances on us .. in more than 20 experience as a recruitment and employment agent and business consultant, the best way to know a genuine business is to ask them to pay for our services in advance. I am not afraid because my company is clean and can be inquired at our embassies worldwide.


No money no business.. that is as simple as that..

I am a acting as a supplier-agent broker for an American company that is presently undergoing very large orders with suppliers I have verified and validated.  I operate out of
Hong Kong
, and have lived in the region 7 years.

 

 

 

I will do all the research, validation, site visits (yes I will go to to meet the supplier first) and any other due diligence to verify authenticity. Remember I act initially only as  an introduction participant, the supplier is expected to pays me a small commission on the total order based on quantity, and you also to do the same.  I do not ask for any money to refund my time, expenses.  I will only get paid if you do business with them.

You will deal with the factory directly after you are satisfied that I have presented a worthwhile supplier.. I will help you find the perfect match for your requirements.  You make the choice I just verify legitimacy and authentication and quality. I will offer my services for a 1% of total cost of transaction orders, excluding shipping, insurance, freight if applicable

 

 

 

I will tell you it goes both ways.  I will also be expected to verify you and ensure you are not trying to scam from your end.

 

 

Please feel free to ask any questions or add any further details. 

 

 

 

I thank you for your time,

I have been contacted by these type of scammers before, mostly African. Their main intention is to get out of their country. They used your invitation letter to get out of their country and who knows, maybe do illegal things later in your country.


Never entertain such request.

Be aware of some scammers in Henan in China, A couple months ago, they tried 3~4 kinds of fraud on this 'Fraud Case Study' all together. Firstly, they made an order of 300 units of our machine and asked us to visit their company to sign face-to-face. After our president visited them and signed on the contract , they asked us to send them 0.1% of bank remittance first. Fortunately, we didn't send the money to them. And then they asked us to send us the invitation letter which must be notarized by the notarization office. But we gave it to them, and they stopped contacting us.
