Shenzhen Liyouyou Technology Co., Ltd 深圳市礼优优科技有限公司
On 11th of October 2016 I’ve ordered 2,500 pcs of USB flash drives. In a week after I made a down payment of 9,720 CNY (around 1,500 USD) the supplier in China told me that he has already sent my order and asked for the final payment. When I asked him to sent me the pics of my purchase, he told me to wait and provided the pics in 2 days only. After that I sent him the final payment of 22,400 CNY (3,446 USD). After he got the money, he disappeared.
