In 2018, the steel industry was booming. Steel prices went straight to over 4,000, bringing many employees back from the bottom, and many friends rekindled hopes for the steel industry.
At this time, there are both good and bad, and the industry has also attracted unscrupulous elements to "crow the brain", and the scams have emerged in an endless stream, and the steel traders have not been prevented. To this end, we deliberately collected the 8 major tricks commonly used in the steel trade industry to alert them, in case our friends were deceived!
The scammers first prepared to set up a company, and then they bought steel products from steel traders. The conditions were also quite good. It happened that steel traders were eager to sell, and they were eager to close the deal after rushing to understand the situation. When the steel trader delivered it to him, he always paid by cheque when he was close to the bank for various reasons. After the event, the steel trader settled the cheque and was refunded because the fraudulent company’s account was unpaid.
The scammer sold a small amount of steel to a steel trade company, and then changed the bills delivered by the company, mainly in the case of the blank space of the bill, which was changed into a larger amount to obtain more benefits. If the steel traders are not guarded against the altered bills based on their trust in the drawer, waiting for the steel traders is to fight the eggs.
Many steel traders settled their acceptances as acceptance bills. For capital turnover, they will generally get the bank to discount, but the market discount rate is very high. At this time, the criminals appeared in an unusual relationship with the bank. The steel traders would be suspicious of trying to use a small amount of money, very satisfied, and twice called the brothers and sisters. Once the huge draft was handed over to him, the discounted people would evaporate, and the steel traders would complain.
In the process of purchasing a batch of steel, steel traders have exactly one supplier with good quality and low price, and the other party requires settlement with an acceptance draft. Therefore, the steel traders went to the bank to get the acceptance bill and faxed it to the other party. The next day, the door-to-door talks, the other party's ticket was correct, but the contract was not negotiated. Afterwards, the bank reported that the money had been transferred, and the hand was actually a fake ticket. In fact, the criminals made fake tickets in accordance with the fax, and at the time of the ticket inspection, they dropped the package and turned to the bank for discounting.
This kind of scam is more common. The customer would have to measure 5 thick. If the ruler is normal, the difference is 0.75, and the customer will have a negative difference of 0.5, the actual thickness is 4.5, or the negative difference is larger. Anyway, it was sent to the construction site. If it was too heavy, it would have been 5 thick, and some merchants who sent the difference would issue 5.5. There will be more tonnage when weigh the pound. Even if it is discovered later, the other party will not admit it, and the victims will not lose much, and they will not be able to.
Some scammers pretend to buy steel, and usually drag the time until Friday to decide to get the goods. On Friday afternoon, according to the regulations of the steel traders, it is necessary to pay for the goods, so the two parties quickly signed the contract, and the fraudster faxed the wire transfer to the steel trader. At this time, most of the banks have already been snoring, and the scammers urged the delivery. Once the merchants gave the bill of lading to the other party, they found that the money had not arrived when they checked the bill next week.
Some scammers abide by the freight station, obtain transportation information, and go missing after the factory is loaded. There are also some places to raise prices, ask the owner to add fees, use the goods to pick up the goods station and the owner. It is very difficult for the freight station to verify the identity of the identity. After the scammer arrives at the warehouse to pick up the goods, you will understand.
The liar also used a copy of the business license of a large company, a certificate of qualification, and a bill of exchange stamped with the company’s financial chapter, and pretending to be the project manager of the large company’s construction site, specifically defrauding steel and other building materials, and then selling it, when the steel trader would The bill was found to have been defrauded after it was released into the bank.
In general, the scammer wants to swindle successfully or get the trust of the swindler to relax the vigilance, or let the swindler lose the measure and relax the vigilance. Therefore, in the profit-seeking market, losing vigilance means that the probability of being cheated is greatly increased. Second, understand the other party's information in many ways, especially for customers who are trading for the first time. It’s not easy to make money, and you can cherish it!
