Thread: 911-trade Scam

Some more details wouldn't go amiss

I ordered 2 PS3 from them. I sent them money Western Union. They sent me a tracking number about 8 days after I kept emailing them. The package went to someone else in the US. They are in China. They said they made a mistake and sent it to another customer by accident. After emailing them for one month and actually getting responses saying they are sorry, I still thought I would get my items becuase usually scammers don't reply after taking your money. Anyway, they never sent it.

I am new to this forum and know alot of people despise sending money Western union and I understand that but I have been sendng money for two years with no problems until this past month.

if u sending WU for 2 years but not everyone is honest, u just taking risk everytime, lucky you did not get scammed in past 2 years, now u know why not use WU.

I agree.

People with brains, and understand how to run a successful would have known what to do in this type of situation. All successful traders have a person in China, Hong Kong, etc; that checks up on the company that you wish for them to check up. There are many many people there, that charge a small amount of $30 or so, and they drive up to company location, take some pictures, have a couple words with the boss, or someone else on high rank, see some stuff, and come back to tell you if these people are the real deal.

Or, if you have a good friend out there, just ask them for a favor, if its only a couple miles away, then they'll enjoy helping you.

You cannot, go off wiring money to some company in China, without first thoroughly checking up the company in every way possible.

yes, i agree with xeron, you had best to have a person to verify and check up on the company,if there only miles away, ask him to takes some pictures. or contact the company as your purchasing agent so it can ensure the quality shipping date and some other shipping details. if there much far for your friend to drive up he also can contact them via telephone to indicate you have agent in local so that they pay more attention on your order.

Well Xeron...I do have a brain and I have sent money via Western Union for two years to 20+ different receivers with no problems....so there are legit companies in China. If I would have known about the escrow service, I would have done that first but I didn't know about them until I joined this forum.

However, I do agree with the rest of your comment but people are human and make mistakes, it doesn't mean they don't have a brain or are unsuccessful just because they didn't do things they way you or others may have.
