We found this supplier on alibaba.com, and it sells wood logs.
Actually, we've signed contract (total amount: 20000, trade term: CIF, payment term: 20% by T/T and 80% by L/C).
We've already paid 20% by t/t, and after that we kept contacting with each other by email and telephone.
We thought everything was going on well until two weeks ago, he requested extra fee ( 1300), he said he can't find a 40' container to load the log shipment, and the only solution is that we have to wire this extra fee or he can't do anything!
We argued because the contract is signed under CIF term, so this shouldn't be buyers responsibility.
Then, we told him we will find our own forwarder, so we will need him to give us the quotation by FOB term.
The seller insisted us to wire money because he spent out all the 20% deposit on logging, and he also claimed that he has signed a business contract with his forwarder, so we couldn't use our own.
He sent us photos of logs and told us they were taken few days ago to proved that he really had logs cut. We checked the photo files with some simple steps then we found out the pictures were actually taken last year!
He kept asking money, we told him that theres no way we will wire the money to him, the best we can do is we will add the extra fee into L/C.
He told us that we need to transfer the money by western union and the details as below:
AMOUNT---------------------------------------------1,300Eur
RECEIVERS NAMES------------------------------MR.ACHUO MAXWEL ABANG
RECEIVER COUNTRY-------------------------- CAMEROON
ZIP CODE-------------------------------------------+237
TEST QUESTION----------------------------------WHAT
TEST ANSWER------------------------------------FEES
We started to doubt about this seller, and we ask him to give us the name of his forwarder, he gave us a link as below:
http://atlanticsurfmarine.com/
The page looks well, but we copied the first paragraph from its introduction then paste it to Google, we found another website has almost the same introduction like his. See here: http://www.malgroup.in/home.html
So we need to make sure this wood log supplier is true or not!
Thank you for your assistance and we are really appreciated.
