Reaction for My order was not delivered after payment was made to the supplier
21-03-2019
I have put the communication records at the bottom of these comments as I was not able to upload them.
I was sourcing Grape Concentrate for a company in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Mr Kader Filante from TCFS company replied to my Tradekey request and said they could supply it. They invoiced me 10,000 Litres for 10,000USD CIF. I paid the 10,000 in 2 payments $5000 to TCFS company and $5000 to NSK Global. They said the product was on it\'s way using freight company SA FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS (This company is not registered and surely does not exist). 6 Weeks later the product had not arrived and I contacted TCFS and they said that the shipment had been seized in China because I had not paid the insurance. It clearly states on the invoice CIF. TCFS said I must pay 10,000 USD more and it would be sent on to Colombo where just over 9,000 would be refunded. I said I would not pay that.
Then communication completely dropped off from both the Freight company and TCFS. We were part of a large elaborate scam and now I am 10k out of pocket and I am not able to reach TCFS company.
The addresseswe sent the sample to be poicked up was Mr. Kader, 18 STATION STREET, BRAAMFONTEIN, 2001, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA +0027731139618
He also uses 70 New Quay Road, New Redruth, Alberton, South Africa.

We need to send some money to some other company , so I wanted to ask if you guys can just send it directly and put our company name as reference. Rather than making multiple transfers. It is both financially and time consuming

Hi Kader,
I have spoken to the guys in NZ. They said they will transfer to another bank account. They thought is was a bit strange too and were sceptical but I assured them it would be ok so they agreed. I sure hope it goes smoothly.
Can you please send the details through and I will pass them on.
Regards,
Chris.

This company says it was created 12 years ago, yet only arrived at TradeKey May 31, 2011 http://www.tradekey.com/profile_view/uid/5090811/ZIWATHA-GENERAL-DEALERS.htm
All advertisements are recent, with no history of their 12 years existence.
The website was created 17-FEB-11 and has already expired its registration period.
A professional company would never allow this to happen.
All of the above are scams.

Critique for FRAUD
18-09-2020
Not in the BL that there are no container numbers or even seal numbers.
The last contact we had with them, we were told that the Sales Manager who was handling our accounts is in Poland and that only he can help us with our enquiry as to the whereabouts of our goods.
The first 50% deposit was done TT through the bank but they told us they didn\'t receive it. We insisted on waiting for the money to be reversed before completing another transaction but their Sales Manager, Andrew Jaraslow Kucharski called my father and told him that we need to pay to send the goods because they have already spent time and money on packing the containers. So against my better judgment, we paid the deposit again, this time through Western Union. Once this amount was paid through Western Union, we lost contact with them untill just last week.
However, we are still waiting for news as to the whereabouts of our goods or at least a refund. We were told by the Bank of South Africa that the money was deposited into their account when we made the deposit and that they had already withdrawn it from the account.
This company is FAKE and FRAUDULENT! I am seeking help from the enforcement unit in South Africa and their Fraud department to recover our money.
Please do something about removing their company profile from your website before they scam more people.
Thank you,
Candice Niuafe
