In November of the year, he found SONY brand PS3 was very hot in markets world widely; he managed to get a sample PS3, and ask his clerks to post online to advertise that he has lots of PS3 in stock, and his quotation was much lower than the normal price in the market. In Dec. 22 of the year, a client from Italy got in contact with Li Peng via email, and decided to purchase 5 sets of PS3. In Jan. 2 of 2007, the Italy client wired USD2100 of payment according to mutual agreement to Li Peng's account. After Li Peng got the payment, he asked his farther to buy a pair of shoes, and couriered it to the Italy client. After the Italy client getting the courier parcel, he expressed his doubts at once.

I think you can try +86-20-110 to reach Guangzhou Police. 110 is police bureau's hotline to report crimes. And I think a big city like Guangzhou, they should have police officers who can speak English online of 110....
Good luck.
