Thanks ir1uno,
It was nice reading your article and it really shows how to check details from African buyer. I would also want to share newest way these Nigerian buyers are using to make money. They are sending government contracts and demanding money for application fee.

thanks for your aticle its very interesting, but some supplier too are scam for example, i sent $320.00 to ms hanguiag wang of Hanqiang International Trading ...tel;0086 020 39522166, which never go through, for an hp laptop via wester union and since she received the money, she never send the laptop nor refund my money, any email i send to her was returned undeliver, This is a very bad experience on my part this is my first time of trading via alibaba, i want to start business sending laptops to africa but decided to buy one for a trial to see the quality of what am investing on. but fortunately hanqing is a fraudster. take note
Hi All Thank you for your valued information. I just started my business as a distributor for various prouducts such as instant noodles, snacks, biscuits etc. I have received a lot of enquiries from interested parties from Africa.
After I quoted them, they says it is for the bid tender and requested me to send a LOI together with Proforma Invoice to Ministry of Interior (is there such a government department) and Organisation of Africa Development. The tender is more than USD8M. Can anyone believe it. They did not even see the product. Just a quotation. They even request to call the Chairman of the tender and present them with gifts. Isn't a scam?
All the more I do not understand is that all are from Africa. There is not genuine buyer out there. Till date, I have not had done a business transaction. All companies just ask for quotation with coming back. Can anyone help? ![]()
