KAYAP & SONS PRIVATE COMPANY reviews

Your upload window is not allowing any file type except jpeg, so I am pasting the communication records below. I saw their ad for cow gallstones on TradeKey. I contacted them with an inquiry, and they contacted me by email. They agreed to send me 5 cow gallstones for teaching purposes. I was told the cost was $50 for the stones plus $65 for shipping. They told me I could only use Western Union to wire the $115 USD total, which I did. After receiving my money, a few days later they said it would be another $150 for a \\\\\\\"phytosanitary fee\\\\\\\" required by the government before they could ship. I said that was too much money, and to return my money. A few days later, since I heard no response, I told them they could deduct $22 so they would not have to pay that fee to Western Union so I could at least get most of my money back. They have not responded. Below is their information and the communication records. The dates range from Jan 1 - Jan 25.

My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager ODINAKA PRIVATE COMPANY LTD Cumhuriyet Bulvari No: 123/304, 35220, Izmir Turkey Tel: +905338249910 Fax: +905338249910 Email: [email protected] MSN: [email protected] Skype: odinakapcltd Tracey Magrann Jan 1 to odinaka Thank you for your reply. I see that your price for cow gallstones is $3.50 CIF, but I do not know what CIF means. I am a teacher and I just want a small amount of gallstones to show my students what they look like. Do you sell small quantities? I have about $50 USD to spend, plus shipping. Can you tell me how much it would cost to ship to California, USA (zip code 92882), and approximately how many stones can I get for $50 USD? I would like most of them whole and some broken so we can see inside. Thank you Miss Tracey Magrann odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 2 to me Dear sir, It was nice to read from you. CIF means that the shipping is included in the price if you are taking a quantity from 100 grams. We are selling a gram for 3.5 USD so it means that if you want to buy for 50 USD, the quantity will be 14.3 grams. Since the quantity is too small, you are going to pay for the freight for the 14.3 gram. I have inquired and it will cost 65 USD transport the gallstones and deliver it to you in California, USA zip code 92882. So that the total you are going to pay for the 14.3 grams of cow gallstones to be ship to you is 115 USD. Have a nice time and we hope to read from you soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 6 to me Dear sir, Any update from your end? We will like to read from you soon soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager Tracey Magrann Jan 6 to odinaka I have two things to consider: 1) How much of a sample would I be receiving for a total cost of $115 including shipping? Could you perhaps send a photograph of they stones? Right now, I don\\\\\\\'t have any idea if the shipment would contain 3 stones or 30 stones. 2) Can we use a cash-on-delivery method of payment or some other way that I can be sure to get the product? I am sorry to say that I have paid for things from the internet before, and did not receive my product. I looked up your company at Trade Key and found that you do not have any trust points yet from previous customers, and you just joined Trade Key in December. I am not sure that I will receive the product after I pay for it. Thank you Tracey odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 6 to me It was nice to read from you. Here in Turkey we do not take people money and fail the send the goods them because if you are caught you will seriously go in for it and they is just no way one can at that funny and go free. Secondly Muslim religion forbids such action. You will have to send the money to us so that we can pay for the freight and send the gallstones to you. But if you feel is it not okay for you, you can come here and person and see the product for yourself and you will take along your sample. Attached is the photo of the stone we are going to send to you. Have a nice time and we hope to read from you soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager Tracey Magrann Jan 6 to odinaka That is a good point. Many of my friends are Muslim, and they are well respected. The photograph of the stones looks good as well. Would you consider looking into getting a PayPal account at PayPal.com? It is free to set up an account and your customers can send you money directly from their bank with no fees for wiring money. Additionally, PayPal guarantees their transactions so if a customer does not get their product, they will refund the money themselves. I have bought and sold using PayPal many times. It is a safe way of conducting business, especially for overseas transactions. You would get your money immediately from my bank. Thank you Tracey odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 6 to me Dear sir, It was nice to read from you. We do not know of paypal back here. Our banking system is not up to that standard. Please tust us and send the money to us. we will send your product to you. We can not take your money and we fail to send the product. Once you have done the tranfer to us, be very sure that you will receive your allstone bacause we will send it to you as soon as we have received the money back here. Have a nice time and we hope ot read from you soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager Tracey Magrann Jan 6 to odinaka Ok, I have to contact my bank to arrange for a wire transfer. I will contact you when the transaction is finished, or if I have questions about the transfer. Thank you Tracey odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 7 to me It was nice to read from you. you should do the wire transfer via western union which is the faster means to have the money back here. You should send the money to us via western union using the folloeing details below, Name ::: Nwenzak Stanley Address ::: Cumhuriyet Bulvari No: 123/30 Cite/ State ::: Izmir Zip Code :::: 35220 Country ::: Turkey When you are done with the transfer, you should send to us the name of the person the made the transfer and the money control number (MTCN) as found on the transfer receipt. We will receive the money, package the gallstones and send it to you accordingly. Have a nice time and we hope to read from you soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 10 to me Dear sir, we packaged the sample since then we have not heart from you. we want to know if you are still taking it or not. Have a nice time and we hope to read from you soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager Tracey Magrann Jan 10 to odinaka I found that I can use Western Union online without having to find a place that wires money. I went to their website, and they said I needed a code from them to register, and they will only send the code by postal mail and that it should arrive in 2-4 days. That was 2 days ago, so it should be here soon. Once I have that code, I can wire the money (total of $115, correct?). Please keep the package to be ready to ship shortly. Thank you Tracey Tracey Magrann Jan 12 to odinaka I transferred the money ($115 USD) by Western Union. MTCN number: 067-347-0969 Please send the gallstones to this address. When will they arrive? Will you provide a tracking number? Thanks Tracey Magrann 3330 Shooting Star Ln Corona, CA 92882 USA odinaka private company ltd [email protected] Jan 16 (11 days ago) to me Dear sir, It was nice to read from you. We have received the sample freight feee and the Ninistry of Health office is asking for the phytosanitary inspection fee of 150 USD so that they can issue the health certificate for the sample before can send the sample to you. Kindly send the money to us so that we can proceed accordingly. Have a nice time and we hope to read from you soon. My Regards ERHAN MEHMET Sales Manager Tracey Magrann Jan 16 (10 days ago) to odinaka You did not tell me this was going to cost another $150. You are in the business of shipping this product outside of your country, so you should have been aware of the fee. It is not fair to expect me to come up with that much extra money. I do not have another $150, so please return my $115 that I sent you. Tracey Tracey Magrann Jan 17 (9 days ago) to odinaka What have you decided about our business? Have you found another way to ship the gallstones without needing the inspection fee, or will you be returning my money? You could return the money by PayPal if you simply sign up at that website and the money transfer will not cost any fees, unlike Western Union. If you would rather use Western Union, let me know so I can give you the information you need. Thank you Tracey Tracey Magrann Jan 22 (4 days ago) to odinaka It has been a week and I have not heard back from you about returning my money since I cannot afford this unexpected large fee for a phytosanitary certificate. You may use Western Union to return $93 of my money (that is the amount I paid to you, minus the $22 fee that Western Union will charge you to wire the money to me). That way, it will not cost you anything to return my money. I will have lost $44 because of your error, but getting back $93 would be better than nothing, so I am willing to agree to that. Or, you could send $115 to PayPal.com, and they would give me that whole amount without charging a fee. All you have to do is go to their website and register, and send them the money. Which ever way you choose, I expect to have at least $93 of my money returned to me this week. You said you were Muslim and that it was important to you to be honest in your business dealings. You also said there were strict laws in Turkey about businessmen who take money from people without sending the product. If you do not return my money this week or respond to my email, I will be very disappointed with you. Please do not make me have to report you to the US FBI and to the Turkish police in Ismir. I would like to resolve this matter at once. Here is my information for Western Union Tracey Magrann 3330 Shooting Star Ln Corona, CA 92882 USA Here is my information for PayPal [email protected] I also sent you an invoice from my PayPal account. You can just respond to it directly. They do not charge any fees. Thank you Tracey Tracey Magrann 3:36 PM (19 hours ago) to odinaka ERHAN MEHMET Since you have not emailed me about mailing the gallstones I ordered, or responded to returning my money, I assume that you are a thief and have stolen my money. The message below is the instructions I got from TradeKey.com about having your business labeled as a fraud. I will also be reporting you to the police in Ismur, Turkey, as well as the law enforcement officials in the USA. I am planning to take these actions by the end of this week if I have not heard back from you. Tracey Magrann
