I paid 521 dollars for an iphone4 no order came then you gave me wrong EMS tracking number then you told me that It was on hold by china custom… before your company name was http://www.tohebuy.com and now you changed it into http://www.xinshops.com I still have my records in your website regarding my payment and all the receipt from western union that I paid, all the emails that you send me lying…you even want me to pay more so that china custom will release my iphone4 which you said was on hold when I refused you did not riturn my payment… I researhed and there are alot of victims from your website I will attached here all of there story how you scammed them..
Ive been scam by one of the website.. http://www.tohebuy.com
They just pop up in my email that they are selling cheaper price electronics… I got interested because they are a little bit low price than in the market when I already paid the order by western union I waited for the order to arrived after 10 days item did not arrived to me.. when I asked them they said china custom is holding my item so I need to pay more 45% of the total payment I made which was huge amount… when I refuse to pay and ask for my money back they said they will not riturn it to me …. this is a big scam they are doing for all of the people who are buying from them online they are just getting your money and if you pay more they will ask you for some more payment and they will not riturn your money…. scammer

I had the same experience as you. I placed an order of ipad2 for around 586usd. I made my payment thro’ online banking. After payment,they sent me a “false” EMS code and informed me that my item is on shipment. Two days later, an email was sent to me informing that my item was hold back by the Chinese custom and I had to pay the extra custom fee which cost another 330 usd. What a big scam and stupid idea! Do not buy anything online like this anymore…….

Yes they are doing the same tactics that once you ordered from them they will say that it was on hold by china custom so you need to pay more… now they had changed there website name into http://www.xinshops.com because I posted many scam complaint in the net..

Ordered a product from tohebuy.com and having paid for it I was given a tracking number which was false. When I contacted them I was told china customs was holding my goods and was asked to pay more money to get it released. I have e mailed them about my order and I am still waiting on a reply.

ME too!… I was scammed by these guys. I ordered a portable hard drive and after I sent my payment, I waited and no product was sent. I asked for a UPS tracking number and was told that my package was lost and they would resend it. after waiting again, I was told that they no longer carried portable hard drives. They offered to step me up to a more expensive product, but I declined and asked for a refund. Of course, this has not happened after numerous attempts at communicating with the company. Tohebuy.com is a total scam!.. do not use them.

Unfortunately, it looks like I’ve been scammed, too. Purported to be the Apple factory in China with prices at less than 50% of U.S. retail, I ordered a 27? I-Mac desktop for a total of $905. They sent me a bogus UPS number and said my computer was “selected” by the customs office and I would be required to pay an additional $510 to get it out of customs and shipped.
I asked for immediate shipment or a refund, neither of which seems to be forthcoming. Although I have informed the Ministry of Foreign Trade in China, the U.S. Embassy and a friend who speaks Mandarin and will intercede for me, I don’t expect any positive results.
They keep answering my e-mails @ their [email protected] address but only to ask for more money.
My next step will be to contact my U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer to see if I can get something done abut this though I don’t ever expect to see my $$$$ again.

ToHeBuy.com XinShops.com & www.uterou.com all list identical contact & bank account information.
I recently purchased an item from international seller (ebay.com/uk) with 0 feedback: userid marjans9807
who offered a substantial discount if paid with bank transfer. I paid with paypal & was provided a tracking number for china post shipping from hong kong to USA. Tracking shows nothing for this # & ebay user id listed their location as the netherlands in the auction ad. I believe the tracking # is phony & I will never receive the item.

Emails were all in broken english and did not provide info or detailed response to my specific questions.
After I paid, MarJans9807 referred me to uterou.com site to retrieve discount. I believe uterou.com site is actually tohebuy.com & xinshops.com.
Below is "about me" snippet from website .... details exactly match bank info & address as described in other posts for these rip off artists, except uterou.com mentions they accept paypal, but price is increased to offset paypal fees...

Luckily I paid with paypal thru ebay, and ebay buyer protection will refund in full if seller is scammer & item not received. I contacted ebay prior to bidding to be sure I would be covered if there was a problem. I will post back when I have resolution. Hopefully I can save someone else the hassle and outrage by posting this :)
