Critical Warning: Deceptive Practices at SD Trading Company
I strongly advise caution when dealing with SD Trading Company, a Japan-based used car dealer. My interactions with this company, particularly with Fahad Nadeem and his father, the sales manager Ashraf Sheikh Muhammad Nadeem, have uncovered a pattern of deceitful and fraudulent practices in what appears to be a family-run scam.
Key Issues to Note:
1. Family-Operated Scam: The business is run by Fahad Nadeem and his father, Ashraf Sheikh Muhammad Nadeem, pointing to a family-operated scam.
2. Lack of Legitimate Registration: Despite claims of being headquartered in Ibaraki , the company is not registered under the name SD Trading Company in local business records, raising questions about its legitimacy.
3. Contact Information for Caution:
• Fahad Nadeem (Son, Primary Contact): +81 80‑1392‑0786
• Ashraf Sheikh Muhammad Nadeem (Father, Sales Manager): +81 70-4027-6454
4. Fabricated Inspection Reports: Upon request, they rapidly produce fake Japanese inspection reports, a fact I could confirm as a Japanese speaker.
5. False Advertising: The company lists cars using images of vehicles they never owned. A car I was interested in was previously sold, yet advertised again with the same images. My requests for current photos or a video tour of their lot were consistently refused.
6. Misleading Tactics After Payment: After a bank transfer, they send zoomed-in, blurry images of different cars, preventing any realistic comparison with the advertised vehicles.
7. Substantial Financial Risk: The risk of financial loss is extremely high, as evidenced by their refusal to engage transparently even when I expressed interest in purchasing multiple cars.
Final Alert:
SD Trading Company's operations are indicative of an organized scam, aimed at misleading and defrauding customers. They falsely advertise cars they do not own and employ a range of underhanded tactics to deceive buyers. Proceeding with any transaction with this company, particularly after this review, poses a significant risk of financial loss.

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,

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.
Hi Nedd,
I think that I am in a similar situation with this company. I also bought from them in October.
Were your problems or are you at least getting some feedback?
Len
Hey guys, you are not alone. I paid for a Toyota Noah in November 2023. I was told that the car was shipped on the 28th of Nov. To date I am still awaiting a copy of the BL. Now the connection is silent. I believe one of them calls himself Sadi. I will pray for these Men, they and their generation will forever be wanting and never receiving. It is extermely wicked what they did to us.

I'm writing here because I'm in the same case that all of you
I bought a car in November 2023 and SD TRADING said me that the shipment will be on December 28th. False. I was writing them for any information and this week they respond my messages (I think they was on holidays) and they said me that Europe ship leave some time so I have to wait for the end of January. At this moment I don't know if it's scam or if it's a real situation, I am so worried and now i don't know if I will have the car or the money, or nothing...
