Ethiopia Buyers Buy Chinese Goods Cheated "Textiles Become A Pile Of Waste Rock"

During the 116 Canton Fair, reporters interviewed Bekele, a textile purchaser from Ethel.

He said that China is a great manufacturing power.

Important importing countries.

However, some time ago, he experienced an unpleasant fraud.

He's from Qingdao.

The company imported a lot of textiles, and after paying a large sum of dollars, it received a pile of useless broken stones.

Bekele revealed that he met some Chinese businessmen in Ethiopia and contacted China through them.

A textile factory.

At the beginning, salesman A approached him, and the two sides were very happy and trusted.

But when business negotiations were halfway through, A sent an email saying that he was leaving, and colleague B would take over his business.

After a series of exchanges with B, Bekele became very familiar with each other.

Finally, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement.

Under the guidance of B, Bekele broke the money into the designated account.

After a period of waiting, he received the goods. But when he opened the container, he was shocked: almost useless stones were broken. Bekele was in a hurry to contact B, but B had no news.

The Qingdao textile factory also insisted that it was unaware of the deal and that the responsible parties should be A and B.

The factory confirmed that A did leave some time ago.

The report of the case was found, and the Chinese Embassy in Ethiopia was found.

Though cheated, business continued. Bekele decided to come to the 116 Canton Fair in person and to visit the factory after finding the supplier.

"The main purpose of my visit to the factory is to see if it is an empty shell.

If something goes wrong, the factory will never fly. I learned some painful lessons this time. "

He said.

In addition, he will make a special trip to Qingdao after the completion of the Canton Fair and negotiate with the textile factory.

For this case, it was thought that A, a foreign trade salesperson who might have left office, was not familiar with the foreign trade process by Bekele. He started to cheat and colluded with B for fraud.

There is even another possibility that A and B may actually be the same person.

Bekele was cheated on his own serious lack of experience. He believed in the work of B to replace A, ignoring the company's mailbox which did not use the original supplier, and was completely led by his nose, and finally suffered losses.

"If you use the freight forwarding bill of lading, there may be room for operation," Wen said.

In the above case, B first declared the name in the name of export stone, and then assumed the wrong name when declaring the customs declaration.

Freight forwarding company violating operation in order to maintain customer relationship.

If the shipowner's bill of lading is used, then the operation space is very small.

In addition, in the past few years, the Pearl smuggling case broke out in Shenzhen. In the many links of exports, there may be some tricky problems.

But another freight forwarder, Maggie, is against this claim.

She believes that there must have been problems in other sectors.

Because the name of export bill of lading is very strict, no matter whether it is freight forwarding bill or shipowner bill of lading, the name of goods is generally not changed.

How to prevent turnover staff from damaging company interests

"Iron barracks, flowing soldiers", foreign trade staff turnover is common.

How to prevent the turnover of foreign trade clerks from damaging the interests of the company is something that foreign trade enterprises must consider.

When the foreign trade clerk leaves, the company must ask him to send an e-mail to all the customers to explain who will take the job and who will replace the job.

Subsequently, the successor should get in touch with the customer in time, and it is best to make a phone call.

Only when all the customer information is completed, or even the order on hand can be completed, can the salesman leave.

In the above cases, the Qingdao textile factory has not done enough in this respect, so that the lawless elements have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Foreign trade companies have to remind customers that they must not reply unless they are sent by company mail.

Analyst Wang told reporters: "the use of a unified company's mailbox is very necessary.

In order to save costs, some small foreign trade enterprises use personal mailboxes all up and down.

This is a great hidden danger.

Foreign trade salesmen are likely to take away customer information when leaving, resulting in greater losses.

In addition, personal email is less secure than e-mail, and is vulnerable to hacker attacks.

"You should be very careful even if you use e-mail.

Some fraudsters add a letter to the enterprise email address suffix, posing as an enterprise to contact with customers.

Hackers also intruded into the corporate mailbox, intercepted the mail from customers, forwarded them to their mailboxes, and then impersonated suppliers to urge customers to pay.

One of my clients had been cheated.

Foreign trade salesman Chen Qiongxia said.
