Plywood importers were blackened after transferring advance payment, and plywood fraud of advance payment appeared in many places in Southeast Asia
With the high heat of the plywood market last year, the wood-based panel plywood has been popular, and a piece of plywood is hard to find. We have noticed that last year many international law firms and the police issued the plywood advance payment scam answered by the local police, reminding importers not to believe in price speculation and purchase rationally.
According to the anti fraud reminder issued by the American customer, in the first half of 2021, he was eager to import plywood from Vietnam, so he contacted a man who claimed to have many plywood after being recommended by the local freight forwarding company. After that, he negotiated a deal at a price of 40000 dollars and delivered the goods on delivery. Unexpectedly, after the transfer, they were blackmailed by the other party.
The plywood importer in Europe got to know a netizen who claimed to have channels to buy Chinese plywood through an Internet. After email communication, the other party sent photos of plywood . The European customer immediately transferred $20000 in advance to purchase three containers of plywood. In the second half of 2021, after receiving the container, the European importer found that there was only damaged plywood inside, contacted the other party and found that it had been blackened, so he went to the international court to sue the exporter.
Middle East customer also announced similar cases in the second half of 2021. Dubai PLAIN MDF customers saw on the Internet that someone claimed to be able to produce China MDF , so they transferred an advance deposit of 30000 dollars to the other party for MDF’s eagerness. However, when the money was available, the other party said that it was difficult to produce MDF now, and it would take some time. The customer in Dubai offered a refund and found that it had been hacked. At present, the case is under further investigation.
