In international transactions, fraudulent activities occur periodically. Fraud can manifest in various ways, such as suppliers deliberately failing to deliver goods or hackers deceiving buyers into transferring funds to fraudulent accounts.
In 2024, a Polish company encountered such a scenario while purchasing goods from China. Hackers impersonated the supplier, leading the Polish buyer to transfer all payments intended for the supplier into the account of an unrelated company in Yiwu, China.
Upon realizing the fraud, the Polish buyer made several attempts to recover the funds but was unsuccessful. They then sought legal assistance from Attorney Larry Zhou.
Upon receiving the case, the attorneys Larry Zhou and Jeremy Hu, promptly initiated an investigation. After thoroughly reviewing all transaction information and evidence provided by the Polish client, the legal team, leveraging their expertise, identified the recipient in Yiwu, China. Larry’s team quickly engaged in negotiations with the company and reported the case to relevant authorities for support.
During negotiations, despite resistance from the counter-party, Larry’s team remained professional and determined. They continually adjusted their strategy, advocating for their client based on legal and factual grounds. Ultimately, a settlement agreement was reached, and the fraudulent recipient agreed to return the full payment to the Polish client.
Under Larry’s team’s supervision, the company fulfilled its obligation to refund the payment. The Polish client was extremely satisfied with the outcome, commended Larry’s team for their professional service, and expressed their intention to seek his assistance again for any future legal issues in China.
