fraud china scam

I've been a victim of fraud via a business based in china.

I've contacted the police here in the UK and they said that there is nothing
they can do.

I've contacted the payment processor and they are refusing to recall the funds back to me as they dont do that.

I was wondering what the law is like in china regarding fraud.

The situation is as follows:-
1 ... I found a web-site in china that would supply discount goods to the UK.

2 ... I checked the domain registration server and all the information matched what was given as paymetn address etyc.

3 ... I made contact via MSN to the owner of the site and conversed with him/her for a couple of days and all seemed fine. He/she was please to ship to the UK and informed me the item would take 5-10 days to get to me.

4 ... I made a purchase from the web-site and submitted it.

5 ... I paid the funds to the other person via a site called Moneybookers.com (the payment processor).

6 ... I had another conversation via MSN with the person I made the purchase from and informed them the payment had been sent. They confirmed they had recieved it.

7 ... The person told me the goods would be shipped the following working day their time.

8 ... He/she gave me a tracking number and told that it would be trackable within 24 hrs.

9 ... I tried the tracking number and it never showed. I contacted the person and they told me it was seized by customs and there was a paymetn due to get it released. I paid the extra funds and then never heard anything else.

10 ... I contacted TNT (Whom was suppose to courier it) and they informed me that they haven't picked up the item from the sender. They didn't even have an order to pick-up the item.

Hi--You may file a police and/or FBI report if you suspect outright fraud, and file in court in China as well if you know who and where they are for certain. You may also be able to file in a US court depending how your agreement or contract was arranged. WLD can also track them down, prosecute and collect though they do charge a basic fee for that.

How did you send them the money?

Did you paid by western union?

引言:

要求对7人诈骗伪造团伙采取行动，他们以生意为名邀请外国商人，利用外商来访时由于语言不通无法与旁人交流 的情况，设下全

套骗取钱财。他们胁迫外商采取不当手段诈取钱财。他们签下的商业和约我们觉得毫无价值。

Request to take action against a 7 member group (Photo available), for cheating and forgery. They invites business people from abroad promising business, put them in trap and take money. They are taking the advantage of the situation when a person visits them , and cannot interact with others due to language problem. They impress the visitor and take undue advantage, extract money and send back.. They sign business contract which we feel is not having any value
