User Experience:
We are licensed importers based in the United Kingdom and we have been importing goods from around the world for many years. We initially found Kamal Foods on Alibaba who are 4 year gold, and a trusted supplier. We also checked with Apeda who is a government body in India and we notified the companies bank ICICI to verify that this company was legitimate. On the surface the company appeared to be legitimate. We transferred over $7000 into their ICICI account in India and the final payment was on a FOB basis subject to contract, laboratory analysis, and NOP certificates. We have received abusive emails no contract, no paperwork, 2 missed deadlines for the container and no goods. They also promised us samples would be sent, this they also failed to do. The whole experience has scam written all over it. We are experienced importers and knew straight away that this company was not following procedure and didn’t have the goods or the paper work to proceed with the transaction. We have contacted all the relevant bodies and reported this company for fraudulent trading and we feel that adding them to this black list would protect other buyers from falling into the Kamal Foods trap

User Recommendations:
Our advise to buyers is not to send any amount of money up front to exporters portraying to be legitimate and honest, don’t trust Alibaba, Indiamart or even government bodies like Apeda. India and China are a dangerous market place and corruption is rife. Our experience is they might send the first container or shipment as goods ordered and then future orders would be compromised or in our case you might get nothing and they will keep the deposit.

  1. no bank details given so no money were refunded ,
    no deal cancellation letter was sent so goods worth his payment was shipped ,

    we have no solution to this man . just he takes his goods stuffed 5 months back , for which we will wait more 3 days .

    and this site if not removed our name , we will raise official claim on this site too along with buyer .

    1. WE NEVER RECEIVED A CONTRACT, ANALYTIC REPORTS, 121 PESTICIDE REPORT OR THE GOODS WE PAID FOR IN ADVANCE $7833.
      KAMAL FOODS ARE FRAUDSTERS THEIR THREAT OF LEGAL ACTION IS A JOKE WHEN THEY ARE THE THIEVES. WE HAVE WRITTEN TO ALL THE GOVERNMENT BODIES IN INDIA, THEY HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO ACTION FRAUD, THEIR BANK ICICI HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE REGULATOR. AND WE WILL PERSIST IN PROTECTING INNOCENT BUYERS FROM FALLING INTO THE KAMAL FOODS TRAP. ALIBABA HAVE SHUT DOWN KAMAL FOODS ACCOUNTS AND HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HONOURABLE. AVOID INDIANMART AND USE ALIBABA AS THEY NOW HAVE TRADE ASSURANCE TO PROTECT YOUR MONIES AND GOODS.

    Good Morning Kamal Foods,

    My name is Olgun and I am dealing with the shipments of Valley View Animal Feeds in Banks & Lloyd shipping.

    I have been advised by our agent that you will collect the container by tomorrow. Can you please provide all the required documents by Valley View Animal Feeds once the container is loaded.

    what about goods manufactured 15 tons then ?

    money resend is not possible , if i am done fraud with you then i would debit amount of loss in selling 15 ton turmeric somewhere else and then send u balance amount , but i wont do like that .

    u will get goods worth ur amount in the container number given to you already in the voyage allocated to us by your agent .

    we will make the way of 10 tons turmeric on our own , you will get goods worth your payment . there is no other way , after shipment if you want to throw it in sea , throw it off , its your lookout .

    1. The date is now the 2nd June 2017
      Kamal Foods India, MR SACHIN THAKKAR AND MR SACHIN MEHENDRA RUPAREL, are blatant fraudsters and have stolen our money.
      The emails they have concocted and manipulated are a disgusting attempt to try and conceal their theft of over $7000 from us. Their ICICI bank have failed to return our monies and appear to be allowing fraudulent activities.
      DO NOT VENTURE INTO ANY AGREEMENT WITH KAMAL FOODS OR SIMILAR NAMED COMPANIES OR YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR MONEY.
      The Spice Board, APEDA, and the Indian Government are allowing fraudulent activities and corruption is rife. Kamal Foods bank manager Mr. Digish, the DBM of Bhuj Branch on 8980014195 is also aiding and abetting fraudsters in India like Kamal Foods who is ICICI’s client and they have failed since Jan 2017 to return our monies under the banks call back system. AVOID DOING TRANSACTIONS THROUGH THE ICICI BANK.
      You have been warned
      Regards,
      Valley View
