I found this compnay "Saimaan Bishop" on www.alibaba.com site trading Nokia mobile phones. I talked with a guy called himself ";Beman Shoel". He said, that he is in Poland but their warehouse is in UK, he showed me his compnay's webpage http://www.zadiar.pl/ but I guess it's not their webpage, it's just a page that they found in the internet and the contacts are not good. I tried to call on that phone that is on that website and it was wrong and I tried to write the e-mail that was shown on that page, but nobody responded.

So I agreed to buy from him 5 units of Nokia N95-8GB mobile phones for 1000 euro or 1600 usd. The first of he asked me to pay Western Union and send me this payment details: "First Name: Stephen Other Name: Oke; city: warsaw; state: warsaw; zip code: 02468; country: poland". he told me that this person is his company "sales accountant", but I didn't make this payment. When I told him that I can pay only bank transfer and asked him for bank payment details and he send me this information: "Bank Name: Millennium Bank Beneficiary: Hason Lateef Iban: PL86116022020000000113028312 Swift Code: BIGBPLPWXXX Address: Lim Jerozolimskie 65/79 Warszawa"

Then I told him that I will not pay to personal account. Then he told me that I can do western union to my husbant or somebody I know to UK, and when I will recieve the goods I will be able to to change this name to his name or somebody who can pick up the money. Finaly I did W/U payment on 2008.07.15. to my husbant "Vladas Mankevicius" and told him that payment is made and he cabn deliver the goods. Yesterday on 2008.07.17 I checked in the WU page that money is picked up and all the situation became suspicious to me. Today 2008.07.18 I came to WU agen  in Lithuania to cancel this WU payment but they said that is not possible because the money is picked up. But my husbant was in Lithuania and did not pick up the money. Somebody else with fake personal ID or passport took the money. Today 2008.07.18 I applied to the police station but they just listened my story and I am waiting for the information where should I apply that the investigation should be started. This person "Beman Shoeal" is still answering the phone and he told me that he send me the goods and instead of 5 phones he send me 25 units and right now I have to pay for all the rest of units.

Now I understand what a fool I was. Just wanted to worn others, who can be a victim of such scam! I lost 1000 euro and I hope that nobody else will loos an euro more!

Recently, I have been cheated by this Co ( JINHUA TIANXIN UNDERWEAR CO LTD).,GOLD SUPPLIER

Strange by its name, this co deals with digital cameras, tennis racquets, laptops ,etc.

I was very cautious by not ordering large no of nokia & apple iphone (only 3) as I foremostly wanted to check fakes even after the assurance fr the manager that he sells original.

After communication both by mail & MSN, I finally agreed to the purchase by Western Union when my offer to pay by paypal was rejected being that the Co. 'we don't do paypal'

The person mailed me saying he has got my payment & wld send tracking no. I waited for a week & mailed him to send the tracking no. He did but he posted it the same day I asked for tracking no. A week after a packet came & to my shock & disappointment it contained 2 nike slippers. I knew immediately that I was cheated. I contacted him by mail & MSN but he did not reply even he was online. I have all detail communication with him by mail & I wonder if anything can be done to take action on this Co.

I would like to warn all potential buyers to be very cautious of this scaming method which this Co operates which by chance I have found a couple of other Companies using the same trick;   On the homepage of this scandolous Co on alibaba.com, instead of the Co's profile, it says    *ATTENTION

Recently, some bad man who is not our company's worker used our alibaba's website to cheat customers, now, I tell you, if other contact with you, don't trust him. And our payment Receiver is only one : HongWei Lin . Pay attention, ...

I have found a company that is demanding goods they never paid for - Mr dimitris markakis - BEWARE - he says that he sent payment via Western Union - I dont accept western union due to our countries "Terrorist Act"  bill passed through legislation- which clearly states that ALL funds coming into its borders are subject to scrunity of national security and our policing system.

 

He is a conartist and a scammer - I warn anyone against him. Also I asked him for reference details - he says that he does not have any. I asked him who he sent the funds to - he says he couldnt remember.

 

His full details as displayed on Alibaba are as follows

Company:	markakis
Address:	markakis2005@yahoo.gr
Country:	Greece
Phone:	30-6977-980478

BEWARE - this is the second person who i have come across trying to get goods for free using fraudulent means. IT IS NOT ONLY LIMITED TO FALSE SELLERS.

 

MY NAME IS MARKAKIS DIMITRIOS FROM GREECE AND I WANT SENT A REPLY TO THIS STUPID PERSON WHO SAID THAT SHE FOUND A NEW SCAMMING METHOD

I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES TO CALL HER BUT SHE NEVER PICK UP THE PHONE

I HAVE SENT HER SEVERAL EMAILS AND I EXPLAIN TO HER THAT I WAS SCAMMED BY A COMPANY NAMED CIP LTD AND THAT I NEVER SENT HER ANY MAIL ASKING  FOR HER TO SENT ME THINGS THAT I HAVE NEVER PAY TO HER

SHE IS A LIAR  I NEVER SAID TO HER that I DO not have any. AND I couldnt remember.

SHE ONLY WANT TO BE ADVERTISED BY THIS, SHE NEVER CONTACT ME .

WHY DOES NOT PUBLISH MY REPLAY TO HER IN WHICH I TOLD HER THAT I DONT HAVE , THAT I DONT REMEMBER ETC

I HAVE MY PAYMENT THROUGH WESTERN UNION TO CIP LTD AND THE INVOICE OF CIP LTD
