We are an importer based in Karachi, Pakistan and we had ordered to purchase certain pieces of laptops from a Philippines based company named CELINA FE ESNANI OCAY represented by Mr. Knox (a Philippine national), as per the agreed terms and conditions, we had paid 60% of the attached pro-forma invoice to the bank account of the Company maintained with BPI bank (attached is the text of swift message of the transfer made to the BPI bank). Following are the bank account details, wherein payment was made; Name: CELINA FE ESNANI OCAY Account Number: 004439-3247-97 Based on the agreed terms and conditions, we paid 60% of the invoice amount in advance and remaining to be paid upon delivery of the shipment. Initially they claimed for many days that they have not got the funds, however upon threatening to register complaints with central bank, they accepted to receive the payments. Then they started to make false claims and mentioned that they have shipped and provided us fake email address so some uship logistics (with gmail address), after two days we received email from this uship services (a gmail address: [email protected]), claiming that the shipment has been stopped at Singapore airport and we need to pay the duty, and they asked for more money to be remitted to Mr. Knox so the shipment can be cleared, thereafter they disappeared and are not responding to our calls and messages. I have attached email communication with Mr. Knox, copy of the passport he provided to us along with pro-forma invoice. It is very strange for us that despite providing all the relevant documents along with our complaints to BPI bank, central bank, these did not respond back to us, as in our view it is very serious matter for any bank, where its account holder are committing at international level and they are not taking steps to resolve the matter. We are already in process to update this firm's profile at major trade platforms along with his passport details so that other people are not harmed by these fraudsters. We are ready to assist and provide any further information that may be required, in our view it is very straight case of and can be easily resolved by any relevant authority in Philippines, as it is serious threat to the export activities of the country.
