That is what exactly I experienced mysel on Nov 2008. The deal was too good and I was stupid fall for that. They inqure me with the beautiful payment term with high amount down payment. I was suspecious cause what they offer seem to be risky for them but still, I went to Beijing to made the contract, they will appear at your hotel in executive look with nice suit. After the easy deal and big contract made. They will claim that it's culture that everytime contract is sign I need to give their big boss a gift. They bring me to the gold shop in Department store and choose a gold that cost around 10,000 ++ RMB. I did not buy it with the cash excuse. They tell me to go to ATM. I still insist not to paid. So they ask me to T/T asap after I come back.
They claim that they are from one of a big company name Shijiazhuang Shengdemei Import and Export Trade Co. Ltd. of China which have respective website with phone number and address given. I tried to call their office number several times but never able to get through. I am not so sure that is this company is real or not, if this company is real please aware that there are group of people using this company's reputation to fruad. This incident I did not loose 10,000 RMB but I have spend with travel expence and time and my word given to prepare to goods they lie about.
Dear Sir,
Please help me, I am in position of that: A Chinese importer put me a large oder according to our good price for big quantity. They have a website, fax and phone. The payment trem is good, but the quality checking, guaraantee, panalty is very hard in the contract they give. They require the contract must be notarized in China including I have to go to China and pay for this fees.
Is this a risk? Please give me your advise. Thank you very much
for importing in China, there is no need of notary, it is better, you leave the address of this co, so some one can check.
Thank you.
