Gentlemen,


I recently had the misfortune of having some money stolen through a web-site, http://www.buy-replicas.com/ . Fortunately, I have kept a full audit trail of this fraud. One of the people involved, 'Lily' ([email protected]) refuses to communicate with me on the issue. This is the first time I have ever been duped while doing business over the internet.

While people accept there are fraud sites out there, it is very hard to accept that sovereign authorities in a few nations refuse to anything about this. I have certainly not encountered such things in nations like Germany, Switzerland, Japan nor even the US. I don't see why there should be lesser standards for a great nation such as China. Such fraud implicitly dishonours a nation where authorities refuse to take action. I am sure this would be unacceptable to people of your stature. Especially as such things damage the sovereign and commercial reputation of such nations involved.

I bring this matter to your attention, since you are well placed given your national responsibilities to request that action be taken. Please keep me informed of any progress. I would be happy to discuss this matter at any stage with you. Clearly this is a matter of principal, its not about a small amount of money.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to bring on this set of unfortunate circumstances. I hope to see you in Queensland one day.


Kind Regards,


Craig Stevens

BEWARE: http://www.buy-replicas.com/


* Its is a scam-theft site.

Paid for good via PayPal. Goods not sent.

They will not refund my money. They will not send goods. They will not answer my emails.

I will be alerting all authorities in China, seeking shut-down of this theft operation. This is an embarrasment to any nation to tolerate such thieves.

{see emails below}

All the best.
Craig.

Dear Lily,


PayPal have been contacted. They will email me soon with contact details. I will be letting them know you are running a fraud/ theft operation with your web-site at http://www.buy-replicas.com/ unless you either refund or ship the goods immediately. This will prevent anyone in the world sending you money though PayPal.

I will also be contacting the Chinese authorities (including the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Police) to have the site shut-down, unless I hear from you by tomorrow, along with Western Union.


Please let me know your decision soon.


Best Regards,

Craig.

Dear Lily,


You/ and your company have not responded to my last 2 emails (see below). You have not supplied the merchandise, and have not made a refund. I can only assume you/ your company wish to steal my money. Please let me know if this is not true. Otherwise I will need to notify;

PayPal
Chinese authorities/ government (eg Chinese Chamber of Commerce)
US Authorities
Western Union
Google
etc

I hope you are not running a fraud-scam theft operation.

Please let me know if you intend to supply the merchandise or make a refund in the next 48 hours.


Thank you for your assistance.


Best Regards,
Craig.
