Hi there not surprised you got scammed, you should of twigged by the payment method, Western Union for a start and the personal name, gives it away, a lot of scammers use this method of payment, as there is no come back after the payment has been sent.

Also the name of payment you sent it to, If it was a genuine company they would of sent you there business bank details not a personal western union account.

You bought Branded Latops & Phones from China at $650 (From another thread I read that you posted in) you must of known they would be fakes or did greed get in the way?

That was not meant to offend just a question.

I wouldn't use bank transfer for things in China. Westerner suppliers may require bank deposit, as paypal can be defrauded so as well as it being safer for the buyer, it also poses a huge risk for the seller, the amount of paypal horror stories are crazy. But China or whatever, i'd go with paypal.

Their website doesn't look professional at all.

Plus, 2 of my own filters would failed miserably:

* PR0
* Alexa - more than 10 million

Their "About Us" page is simply ridiculous. Take a look @ these 2 articles to avoid such a silly mistakes in future: article 1 | article 2

Hope this helps
