Balsa wood from Cameroon

Moved from N&A - Michael

Hi all
I deal a lot on the internet and have had 100% success until I tried Cameroon Africa. I was hopeful because the company seemed genuine and I was introduced by Alibaba, but I didn't like to pay in cash by western union. Then after I stated my nervousness they said I could make a bank transfer this was more satisfactory so I made the transfer.
The deal was to pay 50% in advance and 50% after I had received the goods. the risk was only half
So I made the transfer. Once they had received the money they then asked for the second payment making some excuse about the forwarders. so I asked for a photo of the package. They said that would not be possible as the goods had left and the forwarders would send me one. So I asked for the tracking number about 3 weeks pass and they send me the tracking number, it didn't work! I also checked the forwarders web URL and it had only been in use for 6 months the web site state the company has been going for years. Then when the goods had left they demanded the second payment, that had to be made by western union, or my packet would not be delivered. This has been going on for over 2 months. My point is if the goods existed they have nothing to lose by giving them to me and I can pay the forwarding company but no they just insist I pay first, now I am sure if I do make the transfer they will make another reason to demand more money.
this is the said company

I can't help but think they are in on this because they insist the goods are in France and they will not allow them to be released without CAMWOOD CAMEROON LTD authority . I don't believe there ever were any goods. What do you think
I just want every one to know so it may help stop someone falling for the same trap

Hi there wazy gullible,

I'm afraid that what you think is correct. The website is definately a fake website set up by scammers. There is no such company, and there are no goods. Whe you pay the second half, another problem will pop up, which will cost money. And so on. I'm sorry to have to bring bad news, but yes, you were scammed. I will list the website with our team that gets fake sites offline. It is best to stop all contact, every word they told you was a lie and they're only out to get more money from you.

Hi Michael,
thank you for getting on to this so quickly. I have been done I should have listened to my gut feelings.
can you please check out the forwarding agent as well

they have just told me they will send the packet back to Cameroon? If there is no packet they must be in it as well
I guess if we can stop these sites we should be able to help stop the next innocent customer from entering the same trap

Oh yes, they are definately in on it. The forwarding agent is the fake site I was talking about in my previous post
