My name is Greg from Texas. I have been in the Scrap Industry for over 39 years and am the fifth generation in this business. As the Internet evolved, I see all too often whereby Chinese Companies, India Companies and Companies domiclied outside of the United States are scammed out of their hard earned money from USA sellers. We hear how the overseas companies wire transfer money to USA companies accounts with a deposit and the USA companies never ship material as contractually agreed. Because the company that is buying the material is based in another country, these USA companies seem there is nothing the Overseas companies can do; either legally, morally, or ethically. I have helped two companies recover their deposits without reward, without court intervention and they have either refunded their money or have shipped the material. If a company ships sub-standard material and the buyer has a claim, then I simply cannot help them in this dispute. However, what I can and am willing to do is the following: 1. Write a letter in behalf of the foreign company to the company in the USA and request they refund the buyers money and if they refuse to refund their money I will let the USA company that they are violation of alleged Wire Fraud, Fraudulent Inducement, Theft, Theft By Deception, which are all State and Federal Crimes according to the Statutes set up by their respective States and our Federal Government. 2. Represent the foreign company here in the United States via Power of Attorney. 3. Contact the Attorney General's Office in the State the company resides. 4. File a written complaint with the Attorney General's Office. 5. I will keep in contact with the Overseas Buyer and keep him informed of the proceedings that are going on. I wish to help prevent those who have entrusted their money with a prospective seller from losing their hard earned money to companies that think they can get away with not performing their contractual obligations. As I said, I have helped two compaies and indivduals recover their deposits with just a very strong letter of what the options are and what the consequences will be if they fail to return the money or not ship the material. I feel I will be a tremendous asset to the international community that deal in scrap metals, scrap plastic and that are in the recycling business. I hope you feel the same way after reading why I would love to be a moderator in this area. Sincerely, Greg

Replying to [GREG12750]:Am happy you care enough to do this as people trust USA suppliers more not knowing that scammers exist everywhere. I was almost scamed by a company in Florida but unfortunately for them i had lived 22 years in the U.S and knows the system i wrote to the District Attorney in Florida, the Postal inspector, the secret service and th FBI i got my money back in my account immidiately. I hope you become a moderator we need to monitor all this dangerous practices all over the world

Replying to [Sherry]:Thanks for your support Sherry! I really appreciate it. Believe me when I say that when we start up our site, there will be scammers and fraudsters who think they have beaten the system. Little do they know, that my cousin and his company have the means to find anyone, anywhere. Ask Mr. Hussein! That is all I will say for the moment. But our site will be the best of the best. Watch for our announcement. Thanks for your vote of confidence in my being a moderator.

Hi, Greg, how you doin? After reading your utmost sincere posting to help out foreign companies which had been 'scammed' by unscrupulous suppliers, I was wondering if you could help me out with mine.

Yes, I'm a foreign buyer (Malaysia) in the States and I'm buying E-Scraps from the States for slightly over a year now. I had 2 cases with me of which I'm stripped off my 'deposit' and non-delivery or delivers 'real' junk to us.

One supplier is from Birmingham,Alabama & the other one is Greenville, North Carolina. I would appreciate if you're able to extend a helping hand onto the recovery of our monies.

Kindly let me know your thoughts onto this matter and should you need detail information to enable you to help me out, I'm ready to forward all relevant documents for you to evaluate.

Again, I would like to thank-you in advance for the time and efforts if you're ready to extend a helping hand but if you're unable to, it doesn't matter. At least there some real 'good' local people in the country which had extended some helping hand to foreign companies like us.

I wish you the very Best of Health in years to come and also many prosperous years ahead in your business. If you're in the similar E-Scrap business, I would like to get down to explore opportunities with your good self in this mentioned business.

In the meantime, I shall be looking forward to your response and reply whenever you're ready. Thank-you again and you have a pleasant week ahead.

Regards

Replying to [tonyadrianei]:Dear Tony: Since my original posting I have helped two others recover their money with a simple phone call and a couplle of emails. At this time I am not allowed to be a collector of monies but I may act as your Power of Attorney, in your behalf,and getting the proper paperwork and contacting the OAG in their respective states. Until I see the original papers, copies of the agreements, photos of the E-Scrap, copies of the Bills of Lading and all pertinent information, I will await with patience you forwarding me on this. I will be happy to help you. Please call me anytime, email me at greg12750@houston.rr.com, send me any information and explain how the deal progressed from beginning to end.
I will do my best to help you. Again I cannot act as collector of money at this time but I can advise you what to do and fill out paperwork for you.

Regards
Greg
