PAL - Pacific Atlantic Lines or Pacific Atlantic Lies? Theway PAL defrauded my business partner and I, and their refusal to redress theirwrong-doing are a proof beyond reasonable doubt that the company was set up onthe premise of awful deceit. PAL isbeing presided over, in my opinion, by professional deceivers who partner withtheir foot-soldiers (so called clients, who get them contracts) to extort theirvictims. Note - PAL can be best described as shipping agent toactual shipping companies, who in turn has foot-soldiers they call clients. Therefore beware, ask your shipping contact person (foot-soldier) if he/she isclient of PAL, then go ahead or learn from our own experience. Our tale is thatof a double jeopardy. Read on: Their foot-soldier, Patrick E. Iyile - owner of Victim Relief, Decatur, GA, collected $12,000.00 from us to ship two 40 ft containers to W. Africa. Heeloped without providing the Bill of Lading. The containers arrived at thedestination and we were informed by MAERSK (the real shipper) that thecontainers would not be released because they were not paid for. MAERSKprovided us with the PAL information as the shipping agent. We were turned down by PAL on the premisethat neither I nor my partner is their client or shipper of record. Theirfoot-soldier Patrick Iyile, broke his silence after he got a copy of theemail written to PAL for help. He sent telex release via email for onecontainer in lieu of bill of lading and the first container was later releasedwith a demurrage / terminal fee of about $1,000.00 but never sent the telexrelease for the second container. PAL officers were aware of all this butmaintained that we are not their client and shipper of record. Afterthree months, PAL President, Keren Gonen who initially refused to cooperatewith us, wrote my business partner and deceived him to pay her company directlythe sum of $4,400.00, the actual cost of shipping. (If you do your math, their foot-soldier had overcharged $1,600.00 per container). Keren should havedone this for us at the time we initially approached her, but she did not. Alas! The demurrage and terminal fee have accrued to about $15,000.00 and thereis no way we could have pursued the container further. Having fraudulently collected $4,400.00 from my partner who is nottheir client or shipper of record PAL blocked our emails and would notentertain our plea for assistance or at least communicate with us. I recently wroteKeren Gonen using another email address, since her company had blocked my otheremail address. Keren did not take the opportunity given her in my email toredress their wrong-doing of extorting money from persons that are not shipperof record. Remember, they have earlier insisted we are not their client orshipper of record. I let her know that they ought to have gone after theirclient and shipper of record. Unfortunately, she would not do the right thingby returning the money they fraudulently collected. PALs executives lack ethical principle and their unethical action inour experience confirms they are Patrick Iyiles partners in crime. Please beware of Pacific Atlantic Lines, or is it PacificAtlantic Lies (PAL)? They collude with their foot-soldiers such as PatrickIyile to defraud unsuspecting people like us. There are other great shippingagents out there that handle shipping to different parts of the world otherthan PAL. A word is enough for the wise!
