Hi there, i am new in the import game and didnt do my research properly-i was ripped off 800$ on my very first purchase! -not bad... is there any way i can contact some kind of chinese police to stop this guy so he doesnt do it again? his western union contact must have seen his ID and have a record? personally i would like to have him flogged. Any ideas would be very much appreciated-Greg Bell

put  him factory's name to search on google  and track out  or ask  your chinese friends help you if any.

Thank you for those of you in China giving us all good advice. keep in touch so we do not lose you!!! Glen

quite good suggestions!

many new beas are ripped of just like that. its impossible that Local Police will help you out. nor any other. You can might approach chamber of commerce or local legislative body of that particular area, you can even tell your friend in china to do investigation for you.

when you deal with any company in china, first collect indepth detail about the product and company, ask them to provide the contact numbers and address of their buyers. do inquiry regarding company, if the amount is very huge,,,,,i suggest L/C will do good to you.

Any of your queries welcomed

Dear All,

I sent money by western union USD 270/- for a sample laptop promised by a vendor on 1-Jul-2009. He dissapeared once he received the money. He has also provided fake DHL AWB no. and he is no more answering my mail and also no more online. please be aware that doing business in alibaba.com and from china.

Therefore, my friends be careful about your heard earned money.

Following are fraud website

This is just a general warning

I have reason to believe that this company is a scammer:

Name:	Mr Reza Amanta  Offline
Company:	PT. Wajira Kumanta Inc.
Address:	Jl. Demak No. 92, Ranto, Propinsi Sumatera Utara
Country:	Indonesia
Tel:	62-627-8918929
Fax:	62-627-8918922

The intention was to buy a Horizon measuring instrument for 550 usd

He asked me to transfer it via Westrn Union. I said no but he could give me he's valid business account to transfer the funds.

He gave me a account number for a private account. I checked it and the name of the account was associated with scam.

I checked the internet to see if I could find anything about he's multimillion business, no info only at alibaba.

I checked the IP location and it was 3000 km away from he,s claimed location.

Then I asked him that we did a escrow. From then and after I did not hear more from him

I expect him to be a fraud. 

As a reply to topgun:

If you want to find the scammer you could let him fool someone else if he is still advertising the scam.

Sure he will not respond you or someone he think is associated with you. Find someone else.

Make them pretend that they will do a attractive deal and lour him to give you a account to do a TT then you have something substantial to work with.

Chinese authority do not like trading scammers as they are bad for business.

All chinese needs a permit to trade outside china, but you might often find that if you buy a sample they want you to pay to a private account instead, its because of taxation and not nessesary a expression of fraud towards you.

 

Bad news

learned ,there are some scammer, be more carefull.

I have been seeing such threads a lot where people were fraud or the quality was bad. I have started believing that its not advisable to trust people here completely and be extra careful.
You should take action immediately and should not leave such people. Good luck
