Three Ways To Guard Against Fraud In Foreign Trade Contracts

There are three main ways to contract fraud:

A, fight

In April 2002, an enterprise in a city of Jilin received an invitation from the world Chinese business association. It claimed that it could help the company to finance overseas markets, make technological improvements to enterprises, and also underwrite the products of enterprises after technological pformation.

Subsequently, the leaders of the city came to Shenzhen to discuss financing matters.

A person named "Shenzhen Hua Shang Rong Industrial Co., Ltd." and the Secretary General of the "World Chinese business promotion association" received them and co operated with them.

Subsequently, the two sides signed a contract, in accordance with the contract, the enterprise paid 100 thousand yuan project inspection fees and assessment fees.

When the company returns to contact with the company and related persons, the other party has disappeared.

Comments: it is understood that this kind of "financing" under the guise of fraud.

B, using the "overseas relations" to defraud the deposit.

In June 23, 2004, the Luohu industrial and commercial sub Bureau received a complaint about the alleged contract fraud from the Municipal Industrial and commercial bureau.

Shenzhen yongdongli import and export trade Co., Ltd. claims to purchase Mr. Zhong's timber for export.

After the two sides signed the contract, the company offered to send money to Mr. Chung for the US dollar, so Mr. Chung first paid the fixed deposit fee of 10 thousand yuan.

When Mr. Chung returned the contract, the company disappeared.

Comments: this kind of "foreign relations" helps enterprises export to defraud the deposit and other expenses, and is also a widespread foreign trade fraud.

Fraudulent enterprises usually advertise in the media, claiming that they have signed contracts for buying and selling large quantities of goods with overseas companies, and require enterprises with production capacity and ability to organize goods supply to be contacted with them.

When an enterprise comes to contact, the Swindlers Company needs to pay a certain "performance bond" by taking advantage of the psychology that the other party is in urgent need of selling the product.

After getting the security deposit, Swindlers Company first took the delaying tactic, and finally lied about the change of overseas partners, or the victim themselves, or simply walked away.

C, help export "cheat authentication fees"

Last June, the Shenzhen industrial and commercial department received a complaint from Jiangxi Ganzhou Xinhai food factory.

The story goes like this: in September 2002, Xie Mou of Shenzhen Fuhai Industrial Development Co., Ltd., called the head of Ganzhou Xinhai food factory in Jiangxi Province, saying that a Russian foreign businessman had to order a batch of wax products.

Xinhai food factory attached great importance to this opportunity to open up overseas markets, signed a sales contract agreement with Gao Fuhai, and agreed that Gao Fu Hai company was a sales agent responsible for orders from overseas merchants.

Then, Gao Fuhai said that the Russian Federation of the West International Limited company needed 100 tons of wax products to order, but requested the Russian Federation Commodity Inspection Bureau issued the "commodity quality certificate" and "hygiene license".

Xinhai factory said there was no way to deal with it.

As a result, Gao Fuhai said that it has offices in Russia, which can help deal with it.

Xinhai then signed the "entrustment agreement" with the high Fuhai, and entrusted it to complete the relevant supporting documents, and pferred 20 thousand yuan to the high Fuhai company according to its requirements.

After that, Gao Fuhai began to procrastinate with all kinds of excuses. Until December 9th, when Xinhai made another call to Gao Fuhai company, the other side said the relevant personnel contacted with Xinhai had left Gao Fu Hai company.

Futian industrial and Commercial Bureau found that the company had gone unknown.

Industrial and commercial personnel went to the relevant accounting firms to investigate and found that the high Fuhai company was suspected to falsely report 2 million yuan of registered capital.

Comments: it is understood that Swindlers Company generally has the right to import and export products.

They usually use the preferential price as bait, claiming that they can help enterprises to enter the international market and induce them to sign contracts.

After that, it is said that the product export must have the hygiene license, inspection and quarantine certificate and other related documents, so as to cheat the so-called "certification fee".
