I was looking for laptops and Nitendo Wii and Playstation 3 to buy. I was looking for the best deal for me as I wanted to get presents for my husband and my little cousins. I stumbled across this website www.gogonewyear.com and on their website they had what I was looking for. I asked for the price and I was given a quote of 550usd as I was told that they were a factory and I was by passing the middle man hence the low price. I asked how I could pay for the items and I was told that I they only accepted western union or bank transfers. I went for the bank transfer option as I felt that was the safer option.
On the 29th May 2009, I transferred 550usd which was about £385 from my account to the account below, which was supplied to me and which is on their website.
1. T/T (BANK TO BANK TRANSFER) BANK OF CHINA BEIJING WANGJNG KEJIYUAN SUB-BRANCH No.1 Huguang Zhong Street,Chaoyang District,Beijing,China. A/C name :HUANG PING . A/C No.4020700-01880209910. SWIFT code:BKCH CN BJ 110.
They confirmed that they have received the money on the 3rd June and that in 5 days I will be receiving my order. They gave me a tracking number EE032242207CN. On Saturday 13th June 2009, I went to the post office to collect the parcel, I was surprised to be receiving a very tiny box. When I opened the box to my shock and surprise it was an empty Nokia phone box, with nothing in the box.
I went back home and tried to speak to them and none of them would answer or talk with me. I completed a complaint form on their website and up till date I still have not received anything.
The person that I had been dealing with calls herself XI Meng, it might not be her real name but that is what she gave me. Her screen name when you click on the live chat on their website is Spring.
I have emails from her about their products which I have attached to this email.
My main concern is that fraudulent companies like these are still allowed to trade. I am very unhappy and would like to know what can be done about me getting my money back. I am an honest worker and I have worked hard for my money and now I have been defrauded by this Chinese company.
I have ordered goods from all over the world and I have never had any problem until I ordered goods from this Chinese based company in Beijing.
I need advice on how I can go about getting my money back and also how such companies can be shut down and the culprits locked up for life.
Many thanks
