Jose's case - Another one who got scammed

I got a comment from Jose and I contacted him. Here is him story with Chinese scammers:

I was trying to get an Iphone almost at any cost. well, the truth is that I'm Spanish but now I'm living in Italy for one year, which means that I should wait until... who knows?!!!. Well, a few weeks ago I stared to discover some wholesellers in china who seems to have the Iphone. Finally a friend and I decided to make a testing: We will start keeping in touch with those people over there, and discover if they really have the Iphone. Well, it took us as long as two weeks talking with TONS of wholesellers who really was trying to send us the phone, but after a while they started to fall one by one by their own weigh. They sended us tons of pictures of the item, including pictures of their stock, explanations, etc... but finally all of them confirmed our theory: the only had china copies...except one. This "company" is called Ectopher Trade Group ltd.. well, after many conversations, and sharing a lot of information, we decided to make a loyal agreement with them, compromising them to send us the described item as an Iphone, they accepted to our conditions and send us back a digital document.

So finally, even taking the risk of making the transaction via Western Union (The guy in the office advice me of doing this also), we did it, my friend and I decided to ask first for a sample phone, and if it finally was ok, just buy a second one.

After a few days (2 or so) they send me a tracking number with EMS, we both were really excited about it, it seems to work correctly...

...One week later we checked on the EMS website and: SURPRISE!, the item arrived to the U.S. instead Italy!!! (WTF? we thought!), well, we contact them again and after ONE day, they told us it was a mistake with the shipment, and ask us for time to resolve it (I'm resuming this a lot, because we had a thousand conversations and mails in between). The item seems to be stopped by customs in N.Y. so we supposed they was turning back the item to Italy, or at least to the departing point in China, but we were wrong once again: this weekend the item released the customs in NYC and was finally delivered.

Now we are waiting for explanations (that will never come probably), but at least we have that digital firm and the rest of documentation, that's a real contract with us, and we are about to send the whole information to a pretty known Judge in Texas, friend of us who will apply an order of arrest to any of the persons involved in the transaction (The one who received the payment and the rest of persons published on the website). That means that: If any of those persons will try to get into the U.S. territory will be arrested immediately, and also if they try it on many of the European Union Countries. By the moment the government in China will open an investigation but we have no warranties about it. Also, the information will reach to the agencies for the legal trade control so probably they will inform us better in a future of what else we can do.

Thank you for being in touch, please feel free to contact me at any time, and also to publish this on your blog (I will really appreciate it if you do).

I feel very sorry about what was happened to you, we both are more or less in the same situation, maybe you can contact the LG representant and they will give you more choices of how to act with those people, LG should be very interested in following and dismantle organizations like those ones.
