After submitting a purchase request through Globalsources.com I was contacted by "Lily" from Shenzen Szrovan Electronic Co, Ltd. After spending some days on Skype and sending emails getting the specifications and prices right, I submitted a TT payment on the 17th October against a Pro-Forma invoice.
On the PF "she" had entered the name Zihua Chen as Account Name, and Bank of China, Shenzen. I refused to pay a private person for what I conceived to be company business, and was then given the following details for payment: He Xin (H.K.) Electronic Co., Limited, with a HSBC account in Hong Kong.
On the 19th "she" was going to check if payment had arrived. She has now blocked the Skype account and does not answer emails.
There are additional emails and contact details:
Contact Person: Ada
Skype: ada. RovanGmail
ada. [email protected]
MSN: ada. [email protected]: [email protected]
Tel: 0755-33598821Website: http://www.szrovan.com
Do not make submit payments to those people, they are scammers!
Zihua Chen is a male name btw.
My short experience has taught me, when doing business with China:
NEVER do business with anyone pertaining to represent a company unless their email address ends in the company's website domain.
NEVER submit payment directly, ALWAYS use LOC until relationship is established.
