Fraud of CHINESE COMPANIES!!

Hello.
I have an International trading company and we sell cosmetic and beauty supply in U.S market and of course globally.
We recently started post on Alibaba and Tradekeys and this is really pissing me off!
There are so many inquiries from China and our company was very happy to expand our market in China. Since our company is a good member of “World Trading Association” we have a good relationship with our members who’s living in China or working in China.
Thus, we asked them to research about all these companies in China.
And so far, total five out of five were all fake and trying to fraud other companies!!
Not only this is wasting our valuable time, it also brings distrust to ALL of those Chinese companies. So far, 100% of them were not legit and we decided to make sure every time they email us, we are going to research about them first before we even email them and waste time!
Also we are going to make sure to post online their address, phone number and company name to tell all of you to be alert and be careful about those companies.
And please post online if you find out any companies are trying to fraud.
I really wish there is a way for us to figure out if they are legit or not. So we all don’t have to waste our time and effort.
ALSO, please note that they constantly change their business name.

We are a UK company and have had an enquiry from Henan Giant Commerce and Trade Co Ltd, with the same Tel and Fax number you have quoted but a different Address, we have been given No. 9, Jiangshan Road, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.

We have already wasted our time quoting etc and have just been invited over. Which we do not intent to do as this sounds like a scam. We will submit proforma with our terms if they refuse to meet them all we have wasted is time. Better than going out to china and being scammed, which seems to be the case with alot of people.

This is getting serious. I have just receive a quote request from one of the companies listed: Guilin Zhoto Trading Co, Ltd.

There have to be a way to stop this.....

Thank you guys, you have saved me a lot of headaches.

They can be reported to local police.

You may want to arrange somebody local to do so.

I had dealt with two scammers - one has an email address of shcandy2008@hotmail.com and his name is Andy. I am glad that I did some research before I send money through western union. Andy wants me to send the money to this name FengCheng SU, Fufei, Fushou, Fujian, China 351100 and he is claiming that his company is madeinchinasky. I checked the website and could not check out an item, it automatically goes back to empty cart. The reason I did this because I wanted to pay through paypal but to no avail. Andy contacts me through Yahoo Live Messenger so guys beware of this scammer. Another one has a website of Inaim.com and he would give you some nummbers of the orders he was claiming that he sent to U.S. His name is Janana. He wanted me to send payment through western union. BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS; they will steal your hard earned money for nothing.

At last someone who understands the process of DUE DILIGENCE.

Nice to hear that you took necessary precautions, sorry to hear that each one was a fraud.

China is a big pool, and you need to swim in it for quite while before you can find what you're looking for in a partner.

Well done to you.

All the best.
