The whois information seems to match the information on their site, they seem to have unique products on their site . Have a look into them a bit further but as far as I can see they seem useable.

I currently have an open transaction with this company. It has been nothing buy a pain. I've paid them over $2500 for products and I haven't received them. It's a long story, I'll explain if you want me too. But I'm still communic ating with them for a transaction that I started on June 19 and its August 9 and they still haven't shipped me anything. I asked for my money back and they told me it would take at least 6 months, that's a bunch of crap. I'm assuming this is fraud. I've reported them on EC21 this week and I'm waiting to see what the conclusion of all of this will be.

Shows up as a registered company, since 1979 too.

I received a reply from Essor Electronics on June 16 2007. The representative from their company was named Anh Dong and his email address was sharpcohk@hotmail.com.. He gave me a price list of television products and said it would be fine that if I ordered just one unit. He informed me that the shipping cost ($75/unit was already included in the price) I chose one unit to buy and he informed me where to send the payment. I ordered one unit of Sony BRAVIA KDL-46S2000 52 in. HDTV LCD. The price was $550 plus $75 for shippingHe told me to send the payment to : Peter K Quashiga 328 Kwun Tong Road Kowloon Hong Kong TST POB990 At this point I went ahead and made the payment through western union. I’ve dealt with other companies in China before with western union, so I didn’t think that anything was wrong. So I made a payment for $625 on June 18 for one television and I received and email from Anh saying that it was received and that they would ship it out soon. On June 19, I received an email from Anh saying that his CEO refused to release my order because it was below the Minimum Quantity Order. Initially Anh told me that it would be fine to order just one unit, but after I paid for it, the very next day he told me that I had to order at least three. At this point I already had invested in this transaction, so I went ahead and complied with the minimum order quantity so that I could get my merchandise. He told me that I must pay now to his CEO in the company’s Italy branch because the CEO was on business in Italy. So I order two more units to meet the requirements and I requested and invoice for my records. I ordered two units of LG 50PM1M 50 in. HDTV-Ready Plasma Television and the price including shipping was $950. He told me that I had to send the payment to the CEO in Italy and when he received it, that my order would meet the requirements and be released. So I sent the payment for $950 through western union to USMAN RITA Via De Sanctis 34 MilanItaly 20141
On June 20, I received an email from Anh stating that the money was received and that my order would be shipped out soon. He even called my cell phone and told me that my order would be shipped out. He called from the number 519-342-1038. I did a reverse phone number search on this number and I found out that this number is a residential address number in Canada. At this point I felt skeptical because he was calling me from Canada and my order should be shipped from Hong Kong. When I tried to call the number back, I got no answer. On June 21, I received and email from Anh saying that FedEx courier services are requesting that I pay an additional $600 for insurance and receipt and customs charges before my order would be sent. This really made no sense to me, because in our previous emails, he told me that shipping was already included in the price. But at this point I really needed the merchandise because I already had buyers that were willing to pay for them and he told me that the shipment would be delivered in 48 hours. At this point I started complaining because there had been to previous communication saying that I had to pay for insurance or customs or any of that. Anh told me that this would be the last money I’d have to pay before I received my order I asked if there were any way for me to send the payment to Fed Ex directly, but he told me no. At this point I asked to have all my money refunded and that I did not want to continue the transaction if I could not pay the money directly to Fed Ex. I then received another email from Anh reassuring me that this would be that last money I’d have to pay and to continue with the transaction . So again, I reluctantly made a payment for $600 to USMAN RITA Via De Sanctis 34 MilanItaly 20141 for insurance and customs charges on June 22. Next I received another email from Anh saying that my payment was received and that my order would be shipped out June 25 from Hong Kong through Fed Ex. So on June 25, I emailed Anh and asked for my tracking number. He then told me that the duty on Fed Ex was too high and they would have to use another shipping company. At this point I’m really upset because he lied to me. So on June 26 I received another email from him saying that my order was shipped out but they couldn’t use Fed Ex to ship, so they used an another company. This is the email that he sent :: Hello Mr Jason

We are very sorry for not have replied you mail

We have ship out 3 Units of Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR3 TV and LG 50PM1M 50 in. HDTV-Ready Plasma TV to your shipping details and you can track your package online at www.postallogistics-network.com Unfortunately we are unable to ship your package through FedEx or UPS through unforseen
circumstances however we have successfuly ship your items through
another reliable courier service which is Postal Logistics International and you tracking number is (062049103913).

The shipping manager did a mispackage on your order and now all what we want is for you to promise us that as soon as you get your package that you will pay for the balance fast.

Thanks and hope to build a long term business relationship with you and your company.

Regards
Anh

At this point I went to track my item and it told me that my package would be shipped from London, but it seemed as if everything was fine. When I did some research on the company Postal Logistics International, I found out that they were linked to several cases of fraud from other countries dealing with electronics and other items. Also the fact that he told me that I had to pay a balance off made me even more worried that this was a scam. He then told me that I had to pay a balance of $1725 because his shipping manager shipped me 6 units instead of the three that I requested. At this point I was furious because of all the money I’ve paid already and that I didn’t request six units, I only ordered three. I have emails to prove this and he actually admitted that they made a mistake. At this point he also emailed me an invoice that showed that I had to pay a balance. I really started to complain that it wasn’t my fault that they made a mistake on my order and that they shipping company that he was using was linked to several cases of fraud because people were not receiving the items that they paid for. However, I do have a copy of the invoice that he sent me. At this point he told me that if I didn’t pay the balance, that my order would be on hold and the CEO would not release it. At this point I’m asking for a full refund because this had gotten way out of control. Anh then told me that it would not be possible to get a refund until for at least 6 months. This sound totally outrageous to me. So now, I’ve paid this company $2175 and I’ve received nothing but a hard time and now they were asking for even more money.

So I emailed Ang several times and told him that there’s no way I’d pay for someone else’s mistakes. He just kept trying to get me to pay off the balance but I refused. I told him that I only ordered 3 units and that’s what I expected to receive. He then told me that in order to have my order of three units shipped, I’d have to pay $400 to have it re-mitted to the courier. So at this point I proceeded to contact the company via the EC21.com website and complained about the whole situation. The last email I received from Anh Dong was on July 6. He told me that the CEO had received my complaints from the EC21 mail and that now my order would be handled by the CEO. The name of the CEO is RANDY OVE. His email addresses are randyove@hotmail.com and randyove@enterto.com , So now Randy was telling me that I still have to pay $400 to have original order of 3 units shipped out to me. He told me that I had to make the payment in his name and that he was currently in West Africa on business. He told me that it would be absolute last payment that I’d have to make and that my order would be shipped out asap through FedEx.


This is a copy of the email he sent me:Hello Mr Jason Yes you are to send $400usd, note the package will only be deleiver to you with the identity label with the package.(NAME/ADDRESS) Your order2units)LG 50PM1M 50 in. HDTV-Ready Plasma (1unit)Sony BRAVIA KDL-52XBR3 Television.(1unit)Sony PlayStation 3 (60 GB) Console included with the company T-shirt.I once apologize for the inconveneces and hope to build a long term business relationship with you Below are the details you are to send the Money to
RECEIVERS NAME......RANDY OVE ADDRESS....144 ABIOLA DRIVE IKOYI STATE......LAGOS COUNTRY....NIGERIA ZIPCODE....23401

QUESTION.....BESTANSWER........SERVICE As soon as you send the money send the western union details (SENDERS NAME/MTCN NUMBER/TEST QUESTION AND ANWSER AND THE AMOUNTE SEND) As soon i confirmed this the release order will be given and the package will be dispatch within 48hours from HK. Looking forward to read from you soonest Regards Randy Ove/CEO



At this point I just wanted all of this to be over so I went ahead and made the payment of $400 with the details he provided. So now the total that I’ve paid to this company was $2575. After I made that payment I was contacted on my cell phone from Randy. But when he started talking, I realized that this was the same person (Anh Dong) that called me before. They voices were exactly alike. At this point I’m really upset because I just knew that I had been a victim of fraud. So I started emailing the company through EC21 to complain about this. The contact through the website was MF Kung and his email address is esoreltd@yahoo.com.hk

Mr Kung told me that he was in Hong Kong and that he was trying to do all he could in order to get my order sent, but The CEO, Randy Ove was in charge of everything. Soon after I made the last payment of $400, I was contacted again by email from Randy and he was saying that I had to pay another $600 for shipping insurance and customs slips. At this point I’m totally furious and I’m constantly emailing randy ove, ang dong, and mr kung, trying to get my money back. They will not give me a refund, They keep asking for more money. They will not compromise to send me any products at all. They keep blaming management for the mistakes. They claim that the have lost money dealing with this transaction, but yet I’m the one paying them!! Now it’s to the point were I have to report their actions to EC21.com and any other agency dealing with internet scams and fraud. I’ve paid $2575 in all to this company and they won’t release my order, they’ve lied to me time and time again about prices, shipping, and insurance charges,. They will not give me my money back. The CEO claims that I still have to pay more for shipping and I’ve tried pleading with him, but every email I get from him still says that this would be the last payment I’d have to make, but at this point I do not trust him or his company. Please investigate this matter and remove their information from your website before they scam someone else.
