I made half payment for a Toyota premio with the said company since October 30, 2023 and haven't received any proof of shipment since. Can you help please?Dear Friends and Fellow Importers,
I am writing to provide an update on the recent actions taken against SD Trading Company, following our collective concerns regarding their unethical business practices.
After extensive discussions with local authorities and concerted efforts in collaboration with the trade ministry, I am pleased to report a significant development. Our collective advocacy has successfully resulted in the removal of SD Trading Co Ltd. dealer profile from Japanesecartrade.com. Furthermore, this action has led to the subsequent deactivation of their personal website, which was hosted/autogenerated by the same platform.
This outcome is a testament to the power of due diligence and the effectiveness of collaborative efforts in addressing malpractices within our industry. It serves as a strong reminder that unethical and deceptive business behavior will not be tolerated and that there are tangible repercussions for such actions.
The diligence and commitment demonstrated by all parties involved have been instrumental in achieving this outcome. It underscores our collective commitment to maintaining integrity and ethical standards in the automotive import industry.
I will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates as necessary. Our united stance against unethical practices is crucial for the health and credibility of our industry.
Best regards,
Thank you, will proceed asap.Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience with the used car dealer in Japan. Recovering funds from such an international transaction can be challenging, but there are several steps you can take:
1. : The first step is to contact your bank and inform them that the wire transfer you made was fraudulent. You should request a "SWIFT recall" on the transfer. This is critical to do as quickly as possible, as wire transfers are nearly instantaneous. Your bank can also contact the fraud department of the receiving bank to freeze the funds in the recipient account. If the funds have already been moved, ask the bank to trace where the money was sent and contact those banks to freeze the accounts .
2. Local Law Enforcement in Guyana: Report the fraud to your local police. They can guide you on how to proceed with an international fraud case.
3. Japanese Embassy or Consulate: Reach out to the Japanese embassy or consulate in Guyana. They can provide information on how to file a fraud complaint with Japanese authorities.
4. Contact Authorities in Japan: Since the individual is in Japan on a business visa, inform the Japanese Immigration Bureau. Reporting the fraudulent activities of a visa holder can lead to further investigation on their eligibility to conduct business in Japan.
5. Japanese National Police Agency: You can also contact the Japanese National Police Agency. They handle criminal activities and can initiate investigations into fraudulent business practices in Japan.
6. Document All Evidence: Keep detailed records of all communications, transactions, and any other evidence related to the scam.
7. Monitor Your Bank Accounts: Watch for any unusual activity and report it to your bank.
8. Consult an Attorney: Seek legal advice from an attorney who specializes in international fraud.
9. International Fraud Agencies: Report the case to international crime agencies like Interpol.
10. Regular Updates from Your Bank: Stay in contact with your bank for updates on the investigation.
Remember, acting promptly and keeping detailed records are key to strengthening your case. While the process can be daunting, especially with the involvement of international jurisdictions, each step you take is crucial in seeking justice and potentially recovering your funds.
Thank you, will proceed asap.
