Be careful of This 'Kidnap Plot'
Post 1 of 2
I had posted a subject on 'Help Needed' weeks ago and received several feedbacks of whom I am very thankful for their kindess. But, never had I expected to receive a call from a victim himself which I would like to share with everyone.
He has being dealing with import and export business for umpteen years. During one of his business trip, he was invited to visit the factory and to sign agreement, a common practise for Buyers. Upon reaching Zhengzhou, China airport, the 'Seller' received him and without his knowledge actually kidnap him. Later, he has to pay a huge sum to be released.
Normally when we engaged in business, we only worry about payment and products. How many of us would ever thought of own safety.
So, the next time if you ever have to visit the factory, do it discreetly days ahead. Someone may know the 'Seller' name, phone number or even address, so what? They are all fake! Moreover, China is so big.
Be careful. Once again, I plead with Alibaba to publish this to every forum for every members' attention. Not every member has the time to go through every forum to see this.
Have a HEART!
