Hi
As a complete novice in trading abroad, I made a decision to respond to an unsolicited email from an Ivan Li, who purported to work for Xingchen Technology Ltd.
The catalogue appeared genuine, as did the pro forma invoice supplied by him. I duly bank transferred $600 for the supply of just 10 units of disco lighting, that I had planned to utilize in my mobile disco business.
After three weeks and no delivery, I emailed Mr Ivan Li, to have them bounce back, first sign of a scam. He did reply once, to tell me that the goods had been dispatched.... Still no delivery.
Week four DHL delivery missed( collect in person next day) DISMAY £18.12 duty to pay: Alas not for the goods I ordered: 10 shoddy units worth about £5.00 each.
More email to the receiving bank
Shenzhen Development bank
5047 Road Shennon Dong
Shenzhen
China
and xingchen Technolgy, not surprising no response, so harsh lesson learned and $600 lost
.
Please be wary of dealing with this man or company as they are clearly scammers.
After a little research it turns out that Mr Ivan Li is the director of a number of companies operating from
Flat 107
25 Indescon. Square
London
E14 9DG
So seems that he is an Organised person, clearly out to scam people for relatively small amounts.
I hope that this post will stop this man and company, including the bank who seemingly are all involved.
Thanks for reading
Andy.
