I have requested a product that requires coordination of at least 3 sources and was contacted by a man who wants to act as a "Special China Sourcing Service For Alibaba Users", interpreter / coordinator for a fee or course. To do this he wants to know all about the people I've already talked to.

He says he can translate and facilitate my transaction. His Email IS better than most out of China but still pretty mangled english.

I already have 2 of the 3 parts lined up.

What can I expect to happen if I give this guy all the correspondence that I have to date?
Is he just going to tell my sources they can't deal with me any more unless they pay him?

Replying to [GeLo]: do not worry any serious suppliers and trade partners that you want will not listen to some crap they are all looking for the serious business partnerships so your good standing will not be harmed by the face impostor.

Replying to [GeLo]: If you want co-ordination to ship your products to the U.S. I suggest you contact a freight forwarder that can better do this for you. It's just another middleman you would have to pay but apparently you don't need, for as you say you have already secured the first two components on your own. Besides what references of experience has this person given you. Your 2/3 of the way done I see no benefit for you on this deal except in combining your products via a cingular shipping point or container.
