It seems no nomal buyer can pay 100% T/T to you with any inspection for your company and your quality, this is usually not easy things to do. Also total amount is too huge, It can be not true. what do you thing ?Anybody can give me some suggestions?
I contacted with one factory from Yiwu ,they are doing the order also from Africa for this kind of bid and quanity is nearly same.
I am not sure whether this is a realy buyer or a cheater who played the trick on supplier. Any suggestions?

Thank's For The Mail.

We Also Try To Find Out The Way How To Recognized this Buyer As A Real. Wish It Be.

Think Very Soon We Find Them And After That Only We Can Say What Is Going On Here.

I Also Find Out The Alibaba.com's  CEO And This Webside Provider If They Really Don't Monitor This Type Of Buyer Who Have No Identification System To Proved Them Real To The Other's Member Of Alibaba Like Our's.

I Also Apointed  A Internation Lawer Who Is Good Face Valu In China also and My Lawer  Already Start The Investigation About This Buyer And The Team Of Alibaba.com Official Management Source.

Wish Everything Is Well. If Not Then It;s Time To Count A Big Amount Which We Got From Alibaba As A Demarage For Ford System Of Website And Production Lose Of Buyer And Celler Both.

Greetings,

I have been receiving simular letters from Nigeria, Think about it, after reading that letter you better use your antenas!!

It's a hoax. And it's written in Black and white. 1st. they want to pay you 100% and fly all the way there to collect their commisson? Who does that? #2 If they had that much money to buy product from you, why can't they take their commisson off the top? why would they have to send it to you first and then collect? that's because they want you to clear the bogus funds, give them a comission, in person which will be cash money no doubt. then you will be liable to pay back the bank or go to jail. These kind of pranks are circulating everywhere in peoples email boxes, and now at Alibaba. I just responded to two of them today.  Please keep using your instincts. If it is too good to be true most likely it is. especially coming from A_ _ _ _ _ .

Hi,

I am in the precious stones business and have dealy alot with nigerians. Some scammers some extremely wealthy people.

How to tell the difference

They will pay for the sample + courier of goods

If they like what they see, they send you a bank draft from nigeria.
You can verify this draft with any bank in china whether it is real.

Once you are ready for export, they will send you the balance lso via drafts

Anything else just delete the email

We too have received similar bulk enquiries for purchase/Import of T-shirts and there are middlemen who say they will take their commission ranging from 2% to 5% for getting the order from the importer company, whose details are never avaliable on the net.

After a range of communication, they ask you to send the proforma Invoice and also bank details with swift code for transfering the money.

Some dont talk of how they would collect their commission and some say they will fly to your country to collec the commission. I wonder how the 2% or 3% which sums to huge amounts in USD can be withdrawn in one day to pay them.

It definitely appears to be a big hoax, and I feel the respective government should make a note of this and issue such fraudsters names on all B2B websites so that no one is fooled.

Do countries in West Africa really have so much money that they can remit 100% advance that too USD 3 to 4 million. Does not make sense. Normally any buyer however rich, will insist on a L/C which is very safe and does not involve any third party mediation.

Please do consult also the respective countries embassy in your country to verify the credentials. I did for one party in Togo and their embassy in my country-India told me point blank that it is a big hoax and that they would first ask you to remit fees for a attorney-lawyer which would range anything from 4000 to 6000 US dollars. And once you pay them, you will never hear anything from them.

There is another case, where the so called importer and middleman will pay you 40% advance and after you have done the shipment, they will call you to their country to collect the balance 60% and then, once you reach there, you will be made to repay the 40% at a gun point and knife and you will lose everything.

Please beware and insist on an L/C however lucrative and promising a huge order might look to be.

Don't contact Hussein Kamal, the boss of Atlana for Import & Export Co., Ltd. He is a completely cheater. Four months ago, he contacted me with deal of PET flakes and agreed to supply me with 22 metric tons of clear hot water washed PET flakes in CFR Shanghai $590/MT. He reuqired his Chinese agent in Guangzhou, whose name is Lu Haiping, to send me the samples. Quickly, I signed the contract and 3 days later I transmitted the down payment. The cargoes arrived in Shanghai on 15 October 2009. When I opened the container, I was suprised that all bags are filled with colored unwashed flakes. Most importantly, the total weight is 1000 kgs less than that of the contract. I lost about 3000 US dollars. I hereby honestly warn all global PET flake buyers not to contact this cheater. His contact information as below:

Company Name: Atlana for Import & Export Co., Ltd

Address: Elwardian New Buildings, Building No. 10, Entrance No. 1, Flat No. 9, Beside Elmetras Clup, Alexandria, Egypt

Telphone: 20-012-7027091

Fax: 20-03-4411107

Mobile: 0020114057812

Contact: Hussein Kamal
