As per the advice that is posted regularly on this forum buyers should avoid sending cash payment via WU to unknown sellers. You cannot get your money back if you send the money WU and that is exactly why scammers use that as a payment method.

Only make payment via TT to company accounts or pay via LC again to companies. Do not send money to individuals.

hi guys, this is my first post here.

I have been scammed in ebay and the scheme is not different here.


They promise a product, they want TT or Western union. We ask for LC or Escrow. They give alot of nonsense reasons. Eventually thinking that we can get an item cheaply, we pay. Then after paying, i am sure those guys give other excuses such as the courier is close, or the box packaging is not approved and other stupid reasons.

This give them 2-3 days of time to disappear. If the payment date is on a Friday, the scammmers have saturday and sunday open window.


Also i think the name of the company is important. Bromo is in Indonesia, so if they say they are a Chinese company, then something is wrong. And if they say they are a Chinese company but has names such as KAYA KASUMA, then they are not Chinese.They are Indonesian.


So other than protecting ourself, please know our sellers/buyers culture and we can know alot more on their background.


 I hope you get your money back. God Bless You.

Firstly I should say you are so poor dear! Hope you good luck!

And what I want to tell you is that, no one can be cheated if he is wise enough.

I am a trader, i send product to my cutomer every week and the customer make the payment by western union every week to me. But I never cheat my customer.

why can not you  find out who is cheater who is not before you make a order? I think you should  question yourself?

Why so many persons were cheated but some customer had never be cheated?

Just yell and scold is no use!

Good trader are looking forward good customers. but the customer should make their eyes clear enough!

i'm sorry to hear that.you should do some inspect before you order it.that is so necessary.
for example.do some tourist to their factory and take some sample first .i think if you do this,you can avoid these scam.
Best Regards Friend.
