Replying to [cautioustrader]: Cautioustrader, you are very wise and cautious indeed. We have had similar experience (and is still currently ongoing...they want more money). They contacted us and asked for price quotation. We quoted and waited for their response. They came back and said; yes we like your price and could you please supply us this huge qty? But you and directors must come to our office in Xian China to sign the contract. So we all went, got there and signed the contract. They asked us to buy them a nice gift that worth several thousand dollars! We caught our flight back and while on the plane, we were still shocked and in a dazed as why didnt we stop to think for a while before agreeing to purchase the gifts! Anyway, the company name is Xi'an Import&Export Trade Co.,Ltd. based in Xincheng Area, Xian City, Shaanxi Province, China. Please anyone who knows of this company with similar experience email us at : greg@jstradeconnections.com Thank you

Got the same experience from the same subject.

The posted a big order and sent a draft of a contract to sign.

We refused either to fly to China to sing the contract and to send money in advance

as a benevolence sign.

They should be persecuted!!

A Mrs Seva Joel from Divine Grace Investment in Benin, Africa requested samples . I asked for government documents proving this was a legit trading co. What I got was a bad print of fraudulant papers. They then asked for mor4e free samples. When I requested freight payment they sent a nasty letter of refusal. Since then I have had other companies inform me of this practice and to be thankful I did not pay the "import" fees requested.

Quoting from [cautioustrader]:


Someone contacted me from Benin, West Africa posing as a trading agent for a military organization and wanted to buy a large volume of products from me without even sampling them. Pricing was not an issue, but the only catch was that I would have be personally present in Benin to sign the full contract, and I could not bring a lawyer with me.


I was already suspicious at the "too good to be true" nature of the deal but the requirement for me to be in Benin and without a lawyer caused me to be more wary. I called up the Chamber of Commerce in Benin and verified that the final consumer did not even exist in the country and they warned me that this was surely a scam.


Once they got me to Benin, they would ask me to pay for registering the deal and paying for lawyer fees for the procedure.


I promptly cancelled the deal and backed out. Please be careful of any contacts from West Africa and make sure you contact the local Chambers of Commerce/Trade Commissioners offcs to verify the ligitimacy of the companies.


Safe trading.

Can tell me how to contact the Chamber of Commerce in Benin ? I seearch from internet and contact them through email so far no reply. We currentlt having some business discussion with 3 company from Benin.
