User Experience:
On 12/10/2016, I was contacted by Tom Qin from Shandong Qufu Yatai Trading Co., Ltd., asked me to give him email address to get best price for HDPE virgin pellets.
We gave Tom our email address, Skype and phone no. After that we engaged in many conversation via skype and email with Ms. Mandy (Skype: xuyong12333 . Email: desijinshu@disicopper.com ).
She sold us a small sample of 50 kgs with the price 150$ (TT 100% advance payment), under the name of Nanjing Desi Metallic Materials Company Co Ltd. We received the sample and tested it, it was good. She talked us into buying bigger amount. Still with precaution we just signed the PI to buy 5 tons from them. We paid TT advance payment for 2090.29$ to the below bank account:
Beneficiary: NANJING DESI METALLIC MATERIALS CO LTD
Account number: 467666722823
Bank of China, Jiangsu Branch
Few days after the deposit, we haven’t received any news from them, when we asked them via mail, they said that our order quantity is small, we had to buy at least 15 tons, and asked us for further payment, otherwise we can receive the return payment.
We declined that irrational requirement and asked for our payment back. They agreed but then made many excuses to delay the return payment. After two weeks we didn’t hear from them anymore. They don’t reply on Skype or Email, we also couldn’t reach them via phone.
We figured out they run 2 websites under the same address, tel, fax, the companies names are just a bit different:
1- Desi Metal Materials Co., Ltd.
Add: No.106-5,The first floor,No.73 Building,Zone B,No.15 Fengji Road,Yuhuatai District,Nanjing City
Tel:+86-18551756228
E-mail: desijinshu@disicopper.com (Ms. Mandy)
Web: www.desirareearths.com
2- Nanjing Desi Metallic Materials Company Co., Ltd.
Add: No.106-5,The first floor,No.73 Building,Zone B,No.15 Fengji Road,Yuhuatai District,Nanjing City
Tel: +86-18551756228
E-mail: desimetal@disicopper.com
Web: www.disicopper.com
We don’t have much hope to have our money back, but we’re extremely furious as they used such a prestigious brand like Alibaba as their scam platform.

User Recommendations:
Never trust the supplier if:
1- They offer you the price which is significantly lower than market price
2- They don’t call you often, their email doesn’t show their true name and all other info
3- They refuse to sell with ex-works terms
4- They refuse LC payment terms
5- They always ask for advance TT payment with many irrational excuses
6- Even the price of the product you need changes in market but they still keep an exact low price
