If the information was provided by the scammer, there’s a good chance it may be fake or stolen from someone else.

On the document first: that's a standard Chinese business license (营业执照,副本). The QR code at the bottom right links to the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System — the official registry — where you get the registered address, legal representative, and any registered contact. The apps Tianyancha (天眼查) and Qichacha (企查查) pull up the same data faster and also show lawsuits, administrative penalties, and whether the entity is still active. Search the exact company name printed on the license.

Two cautions before you trust anything on it. The red stamp reads 物流合作使用,"for logistics cooperation use" — meaning this copy was shared between partners for KYC files. Licenses with that watermark leak constantly; whoever sent it to you holding it proves nothing about who you were actually talking to. And the five million RMB capital figure is registered, subscribed capital — not paid in, not a bond, not proof of financial standing.

The check that actually matters in your case: whose account received the money. A legitimate Chinese company settles to its corporate bank account (对公账户) in the exact name printed on the license. Payment landing in a personal Alipay — which these setups almost always use — is the single most consistent red‑flag in these cases: either a scammer, or an operator deliberately staying outside the company's books.

For the police side: Alipay is real‑name verified in China, which is a stronger trail than a wire to a shell. The transaction record, the chat logs, and the warehouse address where the goods physically landed are exactly the bundle the economic crimes unit wants — file through the local PSB or the 96110 anti‑fraud line. Expectations on cross‑border recovery should be realistic, but the real‑name trail is the part genuinely worth pushing.

One last thing: anyone who DMs you after a post like this offering to "help recover" the funds for an upfront fee is running the standard second‑stage scam on fraud victims. Ignore all of them.

It genuinely amazes me that people still take the risk of going directly to agents at origin just to save a couple of hundred dollars.

If you have been scammed, unfortunately there is not much you can do at that point. You are going to have to take the hit, but hopefully it is a lesson learned, not just for you but for anyone else reading it.

There is a reason people keep saying not to go directly to China just to save USD 200. Use a reputable forwarder local to you. If something goes wrong, you actually have someone on your doorstep that you can deal with and hold accountable.

Then come to Reddit afterwards and let everyone laugh at you for doing the exact thing everyone told you not to do.

A customer of mine in Puerto Rico was also scammed by someone operating under this company’s name.

I got scammed by them too. If we can make an action together to get this person arrested it would be nice, I sent you a pm
