Post 1 of 7
I am a mobile phone sales, one of my customers i have found, from Nigeria, he inquired our products, and chatted with me several times, at last he said he wants to come to China to visite our factory, and he asked me to make a invitation letter for him. I told my boss,but he didn't care it. and the customer asked me all the time when i met him. I studied in some forum, said most of that is a cheater. What should i do about this matter ? Thank you very much.

Thank you for your reply.
But he said he must have the invitation letter from China,then he could come to China. If not , he couldn't via the vise from the embassy. He had sent the picture of his passport to me. What should i do ? THS

Most probably,someones from Nigearia ask for invitations are cheaters.For without invitation,they are forbidden to come to China.For they have very bad credit.So most of time,they just try to get a invitation.Some months ago,we came across this problem.The guy said he would like to visit our company and asked for three invitations.We sent them.Finally,they just go for travel to Hainan with our invitations and never had the purpose to cooperation with us.
Before this,we have a customer from Nigearia.He came and bought something.But he got lost without payment and in the meanwhile he borrowed some money from my boss.
I don't want to say all the Nigerians are without credit.just remind you to be careful.

Replying to [cheney2288]:As I know, the policy of Chinese government for the issuance of "Visit Visa" for business purpose coupled with the "Invitation Letter" which can be arranged from the local authorities in China, and to be submitted in the Embassy of China together with visa application. No Fax and Scan copy of invitation letter is acceptable, Chinese embassy accepts only original invitation letter. Obviously, this letter can only be arranged a trading unit/company established in China. I think your client would like to apply for this catagory, and if you think his visit to China is worthy then you may go ahead for invitation letter. Please keeping in view that visiting China is not cheaper enough. What is your loss on his visit. Govt. Fee of arranging invitation letter and courier charges for sending original visa to his address and that is not on higher side....Please go for the risk and you know without taking a risk you cannot get the favor...Goodluck

Actually If I was a large buyer of mobile phones I wouldn't deal with a company either if they claim to be the manufacturer and unwilling to offer a tour of the manufacturing facility. Will your boss allow an SGS manufacturing Audit of the facility? If your boss says no I would find another job. I also agree with the reply from Abu Fayez. The cost to fly to China, is not a small amount of money. Even if the buyer makes no purchase from you at least you know they have the funds neccessary to make such a trip.
