The website www.globseason.com is an electronics e-store which seems to sell cheap electronics on the WEB. For purchasing two cell phones, i transferred some amount in their bank account in CHINA. But suddenly they stopped replying. After some days they replied and said that due to Chinese holidays they were closed and gave me a DHL tracking number for the shipped phones by them. I tried to track the shipment via DHL website but could not get any results. On compaining again to them, they sent me an email next day saying Chinese customs have detained the shipment and are requesting import/export taxes of a certain amount.

This is when I felt that I have been scammed since I have been part of a company importing many goods internationally - including CHINA. I researched on the Internet and found their name in scammers list in many blogs along with a list of similar companies.

The amount was transferred to the following bank account in CHINA :

Beneficiary name: Mi Tian
Address : 12 E-World Trade Building, No. 7 Haidian District, Beijing, China

Account No. : 4761001-0188-103396-0
Bank name:Bank of China Guangdong Branch
Address : 197 Dongfeng Xi Lu, Guangzhou, 510130 Guangdong, CHINA

SWIFT : BKCH CN BJ 400

Can anything be done against them? How are these kind of people allowed to work on the net?
