I hope you are doing very well today. My name is xxxxx xxxxx and I am a very small business man in Pakistan. I want your help to resolve an international scam in Netherlands.
Description of the suspected fraud:
In the month of March I saw a company who is selling the PVC scrap via Alibaba. I was so interested in that because the seller company was from Netherlands which is the most developed country in the Europe and company is also Registered with The Dutch Chamber of Commerce(attached file Business Registration.pdf contains full details about company), So there are less chance of scam.
I made a contact with the Mr. Gerrit Marius Den Bok Managing Director of the Nothum International B.V company.
He convinced me via email that I was so impressed with company profile as company is registered. He also sent me his passport (I've attached in this email). So in the middle of March 2018 I booked a 25 MT (1*40 ft FCL) PVC windows profile scrap at CIF Muhammad Bin Qasim Port Karachi Pakistan at price 225 euros/MT with following payment terms
30% Payment against Proforma Invoice.
50% Cash against documents.
20% After arrival of goods at destination.
I sent 30% payment against Proforma Invoice to his company account. Then he sent me shipping documents over email and asked me to transfer the 50% payment to his parent company in Romania as his own company's account is on audit and then he will transfer the container to Pakistan. I did what he said and waited for the container.
After 15 days the shipping company which is Gulf Atlantic Maritime sent me an email and demanded 2400 euros(€) for the insurance of container but my contract with Nothum International BV was CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) which means seller will pay for the shipping and insurance. I became frustrated because 2400 euros(€) is big amount for me, when I contacted the company managing director he said you have to pay it.
I reminded him about the contract he agreed to pay 50% of insurance money but he asked me to transfer the other 50% to his cashier in Turkey via western union when I rejected to send money via western union and insisted him to accept money to his company account he said no to that method, From that day I was trying to contact on daily basis both by email and call but he is not responding back and he also closed the company's website.
Addition to above mention suspected fraud Mr Gerrit sent me Inspection report of Bureau Veritas which I confirmed from Bureau Veritas officials and they said it's forgery.

Respected Sir/ madam I've all emails and voice recording related to this order and I became the victim of the scam from the country which is named as finest country for law implementation. Yet I transferred that company around 4500 euros(€) this amount is really a big amount for a small business man in under developing country. I am hopping to get that money back and I hope you will take this email seriously. I am attaching all the document as a proof with the email. I will wait for your response.
