Sometime ago, back in March, I wrote up a fictional story about business in China, based on a story in the Dutch press.
Two readers added their own stories and these are some great examples of the pitfalls of doing business in [tag]China[/tag].
Read the stories of China Business Scams, and if you have any of yourself, feel free to share.
There is apparently an on-going business scam against small video production companies, where a major media Chinese company (major, but not found online ANYWHERE), want to contract the production company to produce 35 episodes of a tourism program.
I saw right past this, but decided to play along, while providing a few ground rules. I won’t send them anything, give them personal information except what they can’t get online and I make sure that I write the production agreement. So far, they’ve accepted all of my terms, I’m just waiting for them to say “we require a processing fee” or something to that affect. I’ll let you know what happens…

Hi,
I got cheated by a chines company named http://www.inreteck.com which is owned by Mr. Yin Rui.
They are basically deals in mobile phones and some other devices.
Basically inreteck is a fraud company.
