QINGDAO SHENSHENG IMPORT & EXPORT CO. LTD
Complaint 355401 Details

I identified Qingdao Shengsheng Import & Export Co. Ltd of Room 2244 No.3 Shouguang Road, Shibei District, Qingdao, Shandong, China(+86 532 86785109) has a potential exporting Company for Industrial Chemicals. The contact person was called FLORA, her phone no was +86 156 8990 7584 and her email was [email protected]. After several discussions, it was agreed to buy 50 MT of Toluene and 25 MT of Xylene at an ex-Apapa, Lagos CIF total sum of RMB216, 625 (Two Hundred and Sixteen Thousand, Six Hundred and Twenty-five RMB) an equivalent US$30,756 (Thirty Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Six Dollars) As a result, a Proforma Invoice dated 28th September 2016 was sent by the Company to me which formed the basis of the business transaction between the us. The necessary documents signaling the seriousness on the part of the exporter were sent and are herewith attached as exhibits (B-H).

The payment term stipulated in the Proforma Invoice was 30% TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER (TT) IN ADVANCE AND THE BALANCE AGAINST THE COPY OF BILL OF LOADING (B/L).

I was then convinced about the genuineness of the transaction immediately transferred 30% of the entire sum to the exporter through Telegraphic Transfer (TT) on 31 October 2016 to the Company’s account domiciled with BANK OF RIZHAO, QINGDAO BRANCH, 40 FUZHOU STH ROAD, SHINAN DISTRICT, CHINA (SWIFT CODE RZCBCNBDXXX AND ACCOUNT NO. 810200114621100528). After about two weeks, the Company sent two B/Ls; one for the Toluene and one for the Xylene which prompted me to transfer the balance 70% immediately to the Company’s same account on 10 November 2016, as a sign of genuineness on my part.

Upon the receipt of the value of the final payment, the exporter started coming up with series of excuses. The initial excuse the exporter gave was that the factory workers packed a different type of product.

Upon my enquiry as to when their product will be delivered as per the bill of lading, the Company referred me to an arbitrator in China and said arrangement will be made with the arbitrator on how my money will be returned.
The details of the arbitrator are as follows:
Mr. Sun Bauguo,
Secretary General,
China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Hebei Mediation Center.
Tel. +86 311 78723608
Mobile +86 135 03339727
Fax. +86 311 87050749
Email. [email protected]

I immediately contacted the arbitrator through all the media supplied and there was no response. On further investigation, I found out that Mr. Bauguo was a fake arbitrator. Since then the Company had refused to answer phone calls nor responded to emails from me.

The deduction from above scenario is that the company Qingdao Shensheng Import & Export Co., Limited has exploited my desire to conclude a clean business transaction to perpetuate this massive scam on me and this to say the least is highly reprehensible.

I urge you to use your good offices to investigate the above with a view to assisting me to recover the funds transferred to the company

We count on your cooperation.

Thank you.
