Today i get a email on the business account with the subject line saying " new design linkage".
I open it, and in broken English , it reads:
Dear Sir,
We have new design linkages 250 pcs, the price is very pretty.
If you are interested in them, please reply me. I will give you some pictures and price.
The pictures included showed the reproduction Food Fight linkage.
I asked myself why a Chinese company would knock off such a super specialized item. So I replied asking how much and why they would make such a specialized part.
She replied with:
Yes, in fact, we made more than US$6,000 value of parts for him, and he asked for shipping them to him and will pay us net 10days.
And he received the parts and said the part of linkage missing. So we re made again, but linkages are ready, and we required him to pay the shipped parts; he never replied us any more.
That is why there are 500pcs left here.
But I don't know why the price is higher than yours. This is our cost price. I noticed that this item in the website of that customer, its price is US$40.00/pair.
I replied back asking if "him" was David Adams of RAM controls and if he had other parts made by them.
She replied:
Yes, it is him, David Adam of RAM Controls.
No, we sent all of parts to him, only one item--linkage, he said it is missing from broken box.
Thank you very much for your kind. But if you demand, you can buy some parts from us. I don't expect that you have them in stock.
So now he scammed a Chinese company out of $6k and he got all the parts that he is/was selling. He told me these were made by him at his machine shop.
so, one more scam and one more story for the history books.
