Folks have you ever heard of a Virtual Police Station in Xiamen, China? You can make your scam reports there, get the details of your scams, the chat records, emails, and t/t documents from your bank, and the beneficiary's details.

However, there is a slight problem, you have got to know Chinese, and able to key in Chinese strokes from your keyboard. For those with the facilities, it will be a breeze, but for those non-Chinese you can ask someone with this facility and ability to help you.

Next to this, there are other entry points to launch your complaints, not spending much more on lawyer fees and the legal proceedings, you can go to the nearest Chinese Embassy, the Chamber of Commerce, or Business Center.

Take note: The more evidence you have, the better chance of catching the culprits. So, be observant, and be like a book keeper, take notes of the information, and small details. Ask them the tough questions and expect them to answer. You are the buyer, do not have to give them any information, the sellers should provide them. If at any point of the negotiation or communication, you fell unconvinced and unsure, leave the deal along, it is better not to have a deal than to get your money stollen.

Sir,
Could i ckeck the company named Super-Elec Distributor LTD located at
No.256,2/F.,Saibo Building, HuaQiang North Rd, FuTian District Shenzhen
Guangdong 518001 China.
I bought 10 Sony PSP worth 650USD via western union and the supplier
(ZENG XIANGYING) told me that it was shipped through a shipping agent Sinotech International Ltd with EMS tracking number
# EB100186308CN through a certain Mr Jack and after a few days he mailed me stating:

Hello Sir,
It is 16:47pm on Monday afternoon here. I just got a urgent call from
my forwarder and they told me that the shipment was stuck at the custom
while tried to declare from Chinese Export Custom on Yesterday.

The custom officials were holding the shipment, it was because they
found following reasons about our shipment:
1. Brand Sony-without Sony original permit certificate, they do not
allow to ship any brand products. Or, they will catch the shipment.
2. Since 2009 in Shenzhen city, do not allow to ship out any brand
products like Sony, Apple etc, only the original manufacturer that can
show the permit certificate can ship.

Except above, my personal opinion is, the custom officials are just
greedy and making a way to earn our money. They are the God and they
can tell which we can go. Now we are just unluck and being hold and
they have asked us to pay penalty so they will just release our
shipment.

My forwarder advised that the penalty amount will be same as actual
product amount. So, the custom requested us to pay US$600 for the
penalty. After we paid, they will sign their name and release our
shipment. If we did not pay, they will treat that we are running
illegal business and will keep our shipment.

I am sorry, but i did not know this change this year. I have shipped so
many brand items this year and no problem. I think it is very simple to
understand that the custom people are just greedy, they are just making
an excuse to need our pay. This is also not anyone's mistake, because
once the custom make a policy then nobody can against it.

As a responsilbe seller, i would love to pay full penalty myself, only
in case of my mistake or fault. But, if i paid the full penalty this
time, which means will bring me no margin at all. So, i wish we can
help each other and see what is your good idea by return.

I won't go away, and i just hope i can resolve this issue as soon as
possible, the best way i can do is i can pay 300USD myself so to help
you, this can make up my loss and also yours. So, can you also pay
300USD yourself then we help each other to take back the shipment
first? I think this way looks fair and next deal we can find a way to
earn back our loss.

The custom give deadline only until tomorrow on Tuesday. So, please
make a decision fast. By now i can only give 300USD, if you agree,
please send half penalty 300USD before tomorrow, so i can pay full
penalty to the custom and then get back the shipment. And, at the same
day, it will be going on plane and you can check it online.

I am sorry about this matter, but i also just get this information not
a long time ago. I will be waiting on MSN if you still need to talk to
me.

Kind Regards
Benson
