Hello everyone,

I've recently had the experience of being scammed by someone. I was foolish enough to pay via Moneygram. I have looked all over the internet about information and I though I had it all figured out. I failed to do one simple thing and that was calling the company itself I was thinking of doing business with. I did call it's neighbors and asking them if the company did exist and asking a few things about it's owner. This costs me nearly 700 Euro's. The day after that I send the Money I did phone the company in question I was told that It was probably a Scam. Their company name was used in the past (2012) by a scammer from Alibaba.com.

First some information:
Company name: WAISANG (EUROPE) RECYCLE LTD.

What I have done before I transferred the money:
- Checked the company name on the internet for problems with the law
- Checked the company based on its registration number (04966801)
- Checked the AQSIQ number of the comany (A826090107)
- Checked other sites that holds information about companies in the UK. basically any information that I could find about the company.
- Their own website was offline at the time so I was unable to check that. (this should have been a red flag)

What I have done after I transferred the money:
- Called the company the next day as I didn't trust it completely
- Also called Moneygram and filed a complaint
- Printed all the communication that I have from Skype and all the mail that where send (still have all the data)
- Looked up the IP address of the skype account 41.190.10.122 and 41.58.204.66. Both are in Nigeria
- Contacted the local police, but they can't do anything about it. They say that the person that this guy was impersonating should file a complained of identity theft before they can do anything :(
- Looking for sites that might have more information about it. So I found this site.
- I'm still in contact with the scammer and demand to get my money back because it has been 3 weeks for him to deliver the goods from the UK to the Netherlands. and of-course still nothing.

Now strangely enough I got another email about e-scrap from some other "supplier" called "HARMON INTERNATIONALS LIMITED" and contact person "Timothy Berryman (director)" after the this one felt a little silent. This supplier claims to get my information from Alibaba.com, but I have not been able to find the company on alibaba. Also checking his skype account to see what IP address is behind it I noticed that this one is from Nigeria also 154.120.80.132. So I know for an fact that this is also a scammer. He claims to operate in the UK, but in fact he's located in Nigeria. At least according to the Skype account. I got a proforma from him claiming that I need to pay 600 Euro's. But that is not what I agreed upon. Also from one moment to the next the guy is suddenly very friendly and using statements like 'my friend' and such.

Here is the email header from this one:

Save to say that I will not continue with this scammer.

The question is how do I get rid of these people in such a way that they do not cancel the mail/sky accounts so that other people can look them up and know they are scammers.

Any other information that you like to know I'll make available on request

Welcome to Scamwarners; sorry to hear that you were scammed. For future reference:
*Any number beginning +44-70 is a redirect and is probably not in England.
*Any other number beginning +44-7 is a pager or a mobile and is unlikely to be the main contact number for a company.
*Any IP address beginning 41 is in Africa.

Please post the body of the emails, especially the early ones, as they are probably script and other victims may be searching for them.
