Company information inquiry

Hello everyone I am Sairis from Tanzania  a travel agency I received a travel inquiry from CHINA  XI'AN L-B. TRADING CO., LTD. after long conservation and pricing they agreed with the tour costing and arrangement but the problem came with the contract signing they prefer us to sign contract face to face in China. I asked them to sign the contract at their embassy in my country or to send their representative in my country but they refused. Please can any one give me advice or information about this issue as I am scared of human trafficking and scamers.
I sincerely need your thoughts and help on this

Hi. I am not quite sure I understand you. is CHINA  XI'AN L-B. TRADING CO., LTD. supposed to be a travel company?
regards flemming

Hi thanks for your quick respond I am the travel agency with the company namely saitravstyle tours and safaris in Tanzania. I received travel inquiry from CHINA  XI'AN L-B. TRADING CO., LTD.  They insist  me to sign contract with them in China, I gave them the option to do so in Chinese Embassy in Tanzania or to send their representative in my country but they refuse. My doubts are what if they are scarmers or human trafficking as when I try to Google the company I don't get clear information. Any help please

Hi. The only company that fits your discription is this http://www.everychina.com/company/xi_an … 977e7.html

I would also be very careful. Normally with arrangement like yours it can be done at the Embassy. i have never heard about that they insist on signing the contract in China. Have you got other information on this company? phone number address ect

You know it is amazing that a company with so many employes is nowhere to find here in china, but China is the country of Scams. I know because I live her,

thank you for your clarification and thoughts I thank you a lot

Hi
i am chinese
i am 100%  confirm this person is  cheater
be careful

Thank you I have marked your words

Dear Sairis,

It was great to find you and your query over here. As a matter of fact, we too are operating a Tour Operating Business in New Delhi, India.

We received exactly the same query for same number of people and even for arranging the travel on the same dates as mentioned to you, in August for 270 Pax in three phases to travel in India. We took time in responding them, thinking that these were fake, but then when we gave them the quotation. Without much hesitation, they agreed for our quotation but insisted to sign contract at their office in China. I insisted similar request as made by you to them, but they were adamant in signing contract at their office only.Today was the last conversation we held and I started searching for their stuff on google and found your query.

I searched similar findings as what Flemming got hold of. Well at the end, we consider and confirm that this company and this imposter M...... are Fake People and all this stuff is all nonsense.

Though their company website address is [moderated: pls us your pm]- and this too I have searched myself, they have not yet given me their official address or even website address.

Well I thank You and Flemming along with MANLYZHANG for your valuable inputs. THANKS

Dear Sumeet, information is power in our today's  World and with the advantage of cyber development anything can come out that is why I had to share this in the forum for benefit of myself and others too.

Agreed to the point Sairis.........

Here is their website :lanbiaobiz.com/ and the telephone number matches too.
Hope you can find the information you need, and in your case human trafficking is not likely to happen.

Hi John
thanks for the information, I have visited their website and I have seen it can you please do me a favor for this company too Yunnan Jinding International Economy and Technology co., LTD

hello sairis
this company you gave me is hard to tell what it is doing.
but luckily i can still find some information about it.
according to the company name, i get a phone number: +86-871-3936529
then i can get another telephone number :+86-15887282585
finally i can get their homepage yndwhz.com from ganji.com/gongsi/14175156/
you can find out that the phone number matches.
but their still many other company names and business information about this cell number, and the most likely what the company doing is trading business with imports and exports in China.
good luck!

Hi all, I have also been contacted by this company.
We are a small insulation business in UK, and they asked us to quote for supply of insulation panels.
We have exchanged several emails and now they ask us to send Engineer to China.
Now I dont know if this company is genuine or not.
He has a name, phone number, address, email but no website directly.
I have heard that business is done differently in China - I mean that companies trade in many different commodities, not just specialise in certain products, so I dont know.
Any help appreciated!
many thanks Tim

their website is  www.lanbiaobiz.com
good luck
(Moderated: no free ad here pls + register in the business directory)

thanks Johnny - but what are you saying?
that because they have a website they are a genuine trading company and not a scam ?
(anyone can create a website)


If this is a genuine company, we need real evidence or proof of this.

Perhaps, if you are in China, you can make contact and ask for company registration details, proof of taxes paid, and company financial accounts.
This is what we would have to prove to show we are a genuine UK company.
If you can get this, please pass it on and publish it here.

hi trl
I think we were talking about two different subjects.
what I provided was just the contact information or website of the company, which was totally nothing big deal.
what you need, if i understood correctly, is the investigation of a company in China, which was not so simple as it was outside China. There should be some way to solve your problems but I think that will cost professional service in China.

yeah, I'm from China. and I'm very glad to help as possible as I can. :)
good luck

I also got similar inquiry from same company: XIAN LANBIAO TRADING CO.,LTD.

Hello,
I'm the owner of a travel agency in Morocco and I have received exactly the same request for 3x90 pax in China.
I have already take an appoitment to get to China as friends told me that Chinese people lilke to treat face to face.
I am suppose to get to the consulate (5hrs away) this weekend.
I now wonder what to do and why would this chinese company to all that!
what do you think?

Pour infos, j'ai même reçu leur lettre d'invitation pour apporter au consulat!

Bonjour Madame,

I have been contacted by the very same company. They might be doing a biding.
Have you been continuing with them? Wher do you stand with them now?
I am planning to go to China to meet them at the end of this months. I m off to the Rabat to get the  visa.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Monique

I would very much appreciate feedback from the person going to meet them. I have also been offered a translation job from them with a contract which mentions having to sign at a notary in china, so I guess they will also require from me to travel to China.

For those of you who are in china.. Is there not an organism that may certify a company's reputation?

Thank you

This company are trying to do business with me - we are in fertilisers - I think they are scammers but am trying to check it out. Did anyone come to a conclusion?

Hola Marta

Has llegado a conclusion con esta sociedad? Yo creo son "scammers" pero no estoy 100% seguro.

saludos Rus

I think this is a scam website set up to give a minimum legitimacy. Why? Started only in March 2014. Second there seems to be no Chinese part of the site. Third if you look at the site its ok, but as you dig deeper there is nothing behind it.

Je suis convaincu à 99% sa une arnaque. Je ne crois pas au societe que veut faire le tourism, et au meme temps achate les engrais industriel de moi.

We are in industrial fertilisers and we ve been contacted by them - I becoming more and more sure they are scammers.

I think the trick is that they ensure you they will pay certain amount in advance for the service or product (usually a big one). But then they tell you that the want to have the contract certified by a notary in China and that costs must be split between the two. I suspect they will dissappear once one of us pays for its half of the notary costs.

I have written to them saying that I agree to pay for the notary costs as long as it is after they pay me the first 30% for the work. Let´s see what happens now.

The most common scam I've seen a lot of recently is they give you an order for say 5,000 but "by mistake" they pay you 55,000 - and request the return of the extra funds. What many people don't realise is that in international banking it can take 10 days for the money to clear - so the victim can pay back the extra 50,000 only to see all the 55,000 withdrawn from their account a few days later.
In this case I have written to him on Chinese to say that I am on to him and believe him to be a scammer and he'd better come up with some proof pdq, like names of suppliers and customers or just F off and stop wasting my time. If I get replies or not I will tell you.

As for the scam to which you refer I've never heard of it, but I guess if you can get lots of small bites of a few hundred dollars in China each hit is 1 months salary.

Hi all. I also prepare the contract with this company.
Fisrt got letter:
Dear sir
We would like to import your products wood floor from your company and sale in Chinese market and hope to establish long-term business cooperation with your company. If you are interested in cooperating with us, please send us your catalogue and the latest price about the newest products by email.
We are looking forward to your favorable reply.
Yours Faithfully,
Wen ke
When answered, what I not sell wood floor but can sell Gzhel, they wrote: "Ok, we buy your product".
And gave order on very big volume.
In contract draft all look good. But I have no doubt that the Chinese need so many Russian porcelain :)

Whether any of the participants in this forum close deal with success? I am looking forward to posts rustygecko.

In some Russian forums I red, what scam may consist in the fact that you have to pay several thousand US dollars for  notarizing contract by the Notary Office of the Chinese Government.
For that reason seller must go to China.

http://www.lanbiaobiz.com/ Mr Carl Lee  Lanbiaobiz.com

100% sure that this is a scam organisation. When challenged their reaction was to block all email accounts from our company.

My advice - don't even think about going to see them. Once you are in China you are on your own, and people disappear in China all the time.

http://www.lanbiaobiz.com/ Mr Carl Lee  Lanbiaobiz.com

100% sure that this is a scam organisation. When challenged their reaction was to block all email accounts from our company.

Great info rusty, good to know.

Since I told them that I would cover the notary costs as long as I pay AFTER they send me the first 30% payment for the first lot, no news came back.

Very funny ready to buy porcelaine instead of wood  :D

My question is, it would be nice if he sent 55,000 to each one of us, hoping to do the scam, it becames clear on our accounts and we never return it!  :lol:  I really find they risk too much doing that. Very lucky to find honest people who return the 50,000!
