Did anyone of you deal with mr. scam JianYong Lin of www.coosource.com?

Question

Website was found offering Tomtom GPS and other products with discounted wholesale price, and with free shipping if total purchase was more than $400. Money was transferred via Western Union to these details: Receiver Name: JianYong Lin, Receiver's Tel. No. 8615280414162 Expected Payout Location: Fuzhou, China (when I followed up payment with W.Union they said it was collected at Putian, China at 21:16 ET, same day of Sept 03, 2011 when I transferred it) Sender was as well giving Wired Transfer as another mode of payment, with details as: Acct Name: JianYong Lin Acct No.: 6013821600605399410 Acct No.: 6013821600605399410 Bank Name: Bank of China, FuZhou Branch Bank Address: 136 Wusi Road, Fuzhou 350003, Fujian Prov., China SWIFT Code: BKCHCNBJ720 Since receiving the money, they never replied to my e-mailed follow-ups, even their online chat won't allow me to enter (as probably identified by my email log-in).

Answer 1

Sending cash via Western Union to someone you don't know is asking for trouble. See your other question for more details.

100% scam.



That is a fake website pretending to sell cheap merchandise.



Any site that advertises merchandise cheaper than the official manufacture's website is a fake site shipping gosh awful crappy knock-offs or simply collecting cash and not even bothering to ship fakes.



The pictures on the site look like the real merchandise because those pictures ARE of the official merchandise. Those pictures were stolen from the official manufacture's website. If you receive anything at all, which is doubtful, it will not resemble those pretty pictures at all.



The payment options say it all, Western Union and moneygram. The credit card icons are just there for show, that site does not accept credit cards, only anonymous cash payments.



Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.



In all seriousness, when something goes wrong, what will you do? Send an email that is ignored and blocked? Send chat requests until you are ip banned? Call internationally and speak fluent Chinese?



The UPS, TNT and DHL icons are there only to take up space, that site only ships with EMS, the Chinese post office, good luck getting the "tracking number" they give you to work on the EMS website. You will need even more luck trying to contact EMS when your tracking stops and your "package" is lost somewhere.



You could then be really lucky, your "package" is discovered, seized by "customs" and all you need to do is pay even more money via Western Union or moneygram to the "custom's official" who uses a free email address just like that site has a free email address as its contact information.



Free email addresses are easy to open and close completely anonymously.

Answer 3

Sorry but you got scammed. A legitimate retailer accepts credit cards and paypal. A scammer asks for Western Union and bank transfers as these can never be refunded



You lose your money and there is no way to get it baack. Even with the bank account number they know that you are not going to fly to China, hire a private investigator, lawyer and translator and spend a year pursuing this through the Chinese court system to get $400 back - which is the only way you could ever get your money back from someone in China
