Feb 10th, 2006. We received an email: I am Muhammad Salman. I am running a good business named DESIGN DEVELOPERS here in Pakistan. Basically we import items from China, Taiwan and Dubai including Wooden Flooring, Doors, Bathroom accessories, Flooring tiles, Kitchens etc. I got your email address from your company website……
We called him and he told us he was in the hotel near our factory.
The next day. We picked him up to our factory. When he arrived, without seeing the true products, he was requesting the quotation directly. It was only a very short visit.
The fourth day. Optionally, he chose nearly 50 items for this order and inquired the Proforma
Invoice.
Only spend a short time. He placed an order of a 40ft, price item is CFR Qasim port in Karachi, payment is 30% down payment by T/T before production and balance by T/T when SEE the copy of the B/L.
The Sixth day. He paid us the DOWN PAYMENT very quickly.
April 14th, 2006. We entrusted a shipping agent for the consignment of the goods. Then we sent him copy of the B/L
He promised us to pay the balance before May 1st, 2006.
No news from the bank…
We kept calling and sending him emails, but we got none reply.
May 5th, 2006. He asked me if we can change the address in the B/L for him after got my email.
The amendment cost would be very high. He insisted to change it.
May 10th, 2006. He told me he gave up the B/L amendment and sent me the payment.
May 13th, 2006. We got a bank bill from him.
1 day, 2 day, 3 day……nearly half of one month, no money reached our account.
During that period, we kept calling and sending him emails asking what happened.
He told me he would give me response very soon.
However, no emails he sent me later. It aroused our suspicions.
May, 22nd, 2006. (08:23pm) To our surprise, he told me in the email he was aware that we hadn’t got his payment, because he was out for several days----I didn’t know his meaning
It was impossible to go to the bank for checking, because it was off time.
The next day, he sent me message that something wrong with the bank and still needed two days to send money……
Same, we hadn’t gotten his balance even a week later.
Many times we sent him emails, no response. We called him, but the line was difficult to connect.
He kept telling me the bank didn’t work. Such as the bank network meet big problem and should spend one week to repair, etc.
And later he said he had sent me money in the other bank and issued 101% and we would get his payment.
As matter of fact, no money reached my bank account all the time.
We knew we were tricked and we understand that we should try to get the money or container back.
We asked the shipping company, we found experts, called concerned people in ministry of commerce in Pakistan. However, nothing worked.
We couldn’t get the container back, and could not change the consignee to anybody else, as we could not get the agreement from the first consignee.
According to the custom policy in Pakistan, our goods would be put into Auction-list if no body picked it up after the container reached the port for 3 months. The income was paid for the custom duty, the rent in the port, etc, but we, the exporter got nothing.
Besides, the importer, as the first consignee, he has advantage to get the goods in the Auction meeting only pay little money.
