Anyway, thanks.
Quoting from [Life]:
This is my first year as a member of Alibaba.com. I have responded to most trade alerts pertaining to my particular product. However, on two occasions I was contacted by two prospective buyers; one from Benin and the other from Lome, Togo respectively. They sounded like serious buyers, very professional and knowledgeable about their market. They were very impressed with the price and the product. They requested Pro-Forma invoices outlining CIF and payment terms. Note carefully; the payment terms were T/T 50% down and balance due prior to shipping. Both buyers signed pro-forma and sent back saying they will pay T/T 100%. (1st reason to suspect a scam) However, one buyer told me the Product will need NAFDAC certification and the seller will have to

You certainly were cautious enough and checked things out, otherwise these scammers would have taken you for everything they could have taken you.
Let this be a Warning to everyone else out there, and make SURE you do your Due Diligence BEFORE parting with your money, especially via Western Union.
I have stuck this topic to the top and recommended it as very well worth reading.
Hello,How do I make a complaint against a Gold Supplier for stealing my Money?
Fraud, Etc..The company name is:
(name of the thief)
Helen YuanEverest Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
Gold Supplier in Alibaba
http://Everest.En.Alibaba.comhttp://Everest.En.Alibaba.com
They stole $940.00 from me for samples, by sending me crap I did not order. She claims the shipping company sent the wrong order, yeah and I'm really stupid.
When I asked her to take back the phones, she insisted I sell them to get my money back. The are not worth $400.00 retail, a real stupid scam.But she cheated me. After a lot of complaining and sending about 300 annoying emails to her, she wants me to send the crap back to her, which leaves me with zero. I would not trust sending her nothing.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. It is amazing how many scammers are on Alibaba. Real sad.
Can I post the complaint against them on your site or theirs.
Thank You,
Michael
