[incommunicado]

This is just to warn honest and decent traders out there to watch out for unscrupulous characters in China who advertise cheap laptops for sale. One company i came accross is Huabu Trading Company, Fujian who offered to sell me Dell XPS computers at rock bottom prices.

I paid the money through western union to a miss Lin jianyang and was assured the goods will reach me in 3-5working days via EMS. Anyway, 5days passed and i was told they were unable to ship to me as they were having problems with customs which sounded quite weird at the time. Anyway James (sales rep of the company) offered to ship out the following week and thankfully this was done as promised though not after many emails (phone is non existent as the guy on the other line does not speak a word of english) then i was given a tracking number so i can monitor progress on the web.

To cut a long story short, goods did not reach UK for 2weeks and when it finally arrive i was sent laptops that are not fit for scrap. They were compaq armadas and Hitachi pentium 1. 4 in total and has cost me 1750usd.

For your information Huabu Trading Company is a gold member on www.alibaba.com so please stay away from them. They manufacture shoes and sports wear (so they claim) and how that is even related to computers i dont know. The company website is www.intowto.com and you can find more information about them. Secondly the company work odd hours mostly when chinese people are asleep. They have reps called James,AMY, JAde, jane and Alex and i was told the owner of the business is called Henry. He is the guy who advertised on alibaba.

Now am out of 1750 dollars and have computers i cant sell. I was given a number +86 139 507 81523 which is a mobile number.

I think its time we do something about these crooks and i welcome suggestions from anyone on how to deal with these criminals. Its about time we put a stop to this.
