Recently some companies from , and came to me sourcing legal help against cheats in . By these cases, I come to the belief that the following tips are very helpful for preventing loss in .
Tip 1: Take a look at and keep a copy of the following documents of any Chinese company you intend to trade with: Business License, Taxation Registration Certificate, and Corporate Code Certificate. In my view, the right way to make a copy is by scanning.
Tip 2: Have a copy of the ID card of the individual person you intend to trade with, if you will trade with a company, please have the ID card copy of its legal representative.
Tip 3: If you trade with a company, never transfer any money to any bank account of an individual person whose name is the beneficiary.
Tip 4: A Chinese company shall have a round chop/seal made under supervision of Chinese government. If you see a chop not in round shape, it will be of no effect in law.
Tip 5: Do not trust mobile phone number. Because in the mobile phone number will not be registered to the user, but a fixed line phone number will.
E.g: 86-755-88299217 is a fixed line phone number; 86-13590486688 is a mobile phone number.
If you follow all the above tips, you may avoid many simple scams. If you have any question or problem in scammer fighting, I would like to offer help.
