@Halky,

I hope you have not been conned.Just a few questions:

1.Who introduced you to the company?

2.Do you know anyone who imported a vehicle from the guy?

3.Did he send you the JEVIC inspection report?

If unsure,its better to deal with exporters who accept deposit payments and then pay the balance when the vehicle has beep shipped.

Japanese vehicle exporters have an association and may have been a good idea to find out if they are members.

Where is Tokyo,our guy in Japan?May be he can help to do a due diligence?

@chaka,

He is in chiba but he just gave me a proforma which I sent the deposit.

His phone numbers are still on but he is using delaying tac tic not to send the documents.

is there a way to recover back my money?



@half-empty



he has not even sent me BOL? so what do you mean 3 weeks ni kidogo

Well i doubt you have been conned but on the other had you have provided very little information about the exporter. if he is a native japanese chances are that u r safe. You have given us very little info about how you got his contacts and such stuff. The japanese govt and the exporters association of Japan and the varoius towns auctions can help you track down whether he is a genuine exporter because they guard the intergrity of the export biz jealously and they will do everrthing to keep away fraudsters.unless you are talking of a 'beste' . Contact the auction association of that town he must a member and if things points to the red go to the Japanese embassy in upperhill next to British american centre and explain your case. If you salvage your cash the only deal with the big established companies that have exported thousands not just ahandfull of cars to kenya that is www.ibcjapan.co.jp www.paperatraders co.jp and www.janstrading.jp plus delights

Furnish us with more information about the company...then we can advice and/or assist.

In contrast to other commodities,the value of information increases when it is shared

Relax.If such cases had been rampant the whole car export business in Japan could have collapsed by now.

Patience Pays in Guaranteed Checks

give details of the exporter.website,bank details then we can assist,copy of invoice.then guys can know how to assist you going forward.

thanks to all who are willing to assist.
the company is registered in japan and has a bank account in japan. before i sent the money the company was registered with the exporters association in japan but when i checked last week i saw he has been suspended for not renewing his licence.
he is not a japanese but a pakistani in japan.
i called the japan embassy in nairobi but they were of no assistance bcoz they dont have an arm dealing with such incidents and had advised i consult the interpol.
please keep your advise coming as am getting ideas and hope that i can retrieve the cash.
regards

I smell rotten fish here. Conned by unamed people no details? mzee gama mimi sijawahi gugutana na mjap connie. 99.99% japs are honest people. The crooked ones go to commit suicide hapa karibu na Mt. Fiji.

If you want genuine advice,be upfront weka data hapa. tuichambue.Tukusaidie na jirani afaidike pia.

For i am the master and the captain of my fate !

Halky.......cant you post the name of this company and their address.......thinking you are now joking with fellows here!!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@HALKY,

I am sure all Skerians want to know how all this will end up.

Why contact interpol if you have not confirmed that you have benn conned in the first place?
