When you get an order for $6,000 worth of violin strings, it is an instant alert.
Hope no one gets caught by these people
cheers

I have filled three orders for this Aldino Gear to the tune of $4200.00 each.  The person ordering was an Anita Lee.  Same shipping address as yours but, they paid through paypal.  The money has all gone through to my bank etc.  But, now I am terrified after reading all these posts that paypal is going to comeback and say that the charges were from a stolen credit card.

Thanks everyone for the valuable information.  BEWARE everyone of any orders from an Aldino Gear in Singapore.

Thanks,

Angie

We got inquiry email as follow and an web order later on for $2,000, same billing and shipping info.

This guy send in copies of credit card and id for verification too!
Be careful!

This company ('Aldino Gear') is a fraud. They also have a newer alias: Paragon Gear. Don't waste your time or money.

They have illegitimate websites at www.aldino-gear.com and www.paragongear.com. I didn't even bother calling the number (656) 744-5711 or +65 6744 5711.

If they give you a credit card it is probably stolen. Test it, it will probably be declined. If it doesn't get declined it probably hasn't been reported stolen yet, but if the actual card holder disputes the charges you will most likely lose your money.

I am from Singapore and even i get that too.

Dear sir / madam ,

I found your commercial site when I was surfing on. I think your Store has
special offer on some items that I will not let this chance passing by.

Before I do some arrangement purchase, I got some questions here.

This is about International order either, that the item will be deliver to
Singapore. I will pay for FedEx/UPS Express for shipping method.

For payment, i prefer using credit card. Its the easiest and fastest
payment for internet purchase.

And these are the item that i would like to buy from you :

# Shimano Stella 4000 FD Fishing Reel (10 units)

Contact me for your further information, thank you.

Regards



We swat these orders down every day.  Guys tried twice in 2 days with a slightly different name.  It was hard to believe some of you have shipped to them, not thinking its fraud but live and learn.  Wish we could bust these crooks.

Looks like theyve changed their name now.

Hello, my name is Kwan Yong from Singapore country.
In this occasions, i interest to order some of your products and surely
your offer.

I would like to have an information about the term of payment and shipping

method;

-Could you ship to Singapore directly ?

-Do you accept direct payment by visa credit card ?

I prefer to use direct payment by visa credit card because more faster on

processing and the billing just once a month so i can get credit for 1 month

and i can take advantage of the 30 day terms period of my visa credit card

for running the cash money for cash flow on here.



Thank you in advance for your kind assistance and cooperation, i wait your

favorable response as soon as possible and your consideration of this

request will be highly appreciated, thank you.



Best Regards,

Kwan Yong

I always try to get as much info as I can out of these guys.  Then I call the credit card issuing bank and report the fraud.  I always make sure they contact the person who's name is on the card and make sure they are aware that a card has been issued in their name.  I ask that they have the card holder contact me to verify that the bank contacted them.  If I do not hear from the customer I call the card issuing bank and go through the process again until the customer calls me.  I have been on both sides of these card deals (people taking out cards with my info - stolen ID, and lost money as a business).  I learned my lesson after a chargeback 3 months after the initial transaction.  I now hold overseas shipments for 90 days after the charge is processed before I ship the order.

Wow just got a $2700 order for Brembo parts. Glad I searched this before proceeding.

I am interested to purchase some of your product.
Let me know if you accept credit card for the payment and can ship to Singapore?

Thank you and waiting for your reply

Kindest Regards,

I've already processed and shipped the first order..
Now in the process of the second order, I was suspicious and did the search and end of up..
So what's gona happened to the first order.... so I'll just have to for the charge back??

Here is an email I received from these folks. Same address but the phone number was different. This fellow even had the cojones to call me directly.

Dear Sir,

My name is Andrew Lee from Singapore. I decide to make an request
order directly from you. But first off all would you please Esteemed Mr/Mrs explain us some
of this points bellow:

1. I would like to know your Shipping Range and can it reach to
Singapore?

2. Do you accept Visa, Mastercard, or American Express for the
payment?
3. Could you ship it via DHL/TNT/FedEx/UPS Express ?

Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated and I look forward to
hear the good news ASAP.

Best Regards,
Andrew Lee

Here is the contact information he emailed me.

ALDINO 51( QQ: Andrew Lee )
ATTN : Andrew Lee
Address : Ubi Avenue 1 #01-27
State : SG
City : Paya Ubi Industrial Park
Zip Code : 408933
Country : Singapore
Phone : 658877180

He called me directly with this phone number 586-738-7811.

I thought it interesting that he used the name Andrea Lee on one of the orders I read about in another email posted here. I think these little s&*ts deserve to be shot. They prey on small businesses knowing full well we don't have the security resources of many larger companies. Don't let your desire to fill a big order exceed your comfort zone regarding caution. Whenever I get a big order I review everything about thoroughly. It's better to lose a sale than to lose the money you spent purchasing the merchandise and the merchandise itself. 99% of the time orders from Nigeria and Singapore are simply bogus in my experience.

I wanted to say thank you to the other people who posted here. I was trying to figure this one out when I typed the address into Google and found this information here. I was suspicious about the thing to start with but after seeing the information presented here I was positive it's a scam. Thanks for your help.

Dear All,

We did not trust this and searched the Internet and came across your site. The thing that got us suspicious, is that our customers hardly buy multiple sunglasses. If we sell 30, we sell 30 different styles not 30pcs of one model only. Here's the mail exchange as far as KS Starlight got with me.

Dear Daan..

other item as sample for my self I only sell it here because half from my list is request from our regular client here.
Here I send you detail shipping address so you can calculate total my order by you

I just received an email enquiry from a suspiciously similar source yesterday too. Luckily I decided to google the company's name which lead me to here. Just doing my part to warn! Below are the details from the mail.


Dear,

It is a pleasure to contact you. I am from Aldino Gear Ltd Singapore. I have a plan to order from you. But, I have question about the shipping and payment first.
Can you ship to Singapore via UPS or another door to door shipment?
Do you accept Mastercard or VISA as forms of payment?

Looking forward to your reply soon.

Best regards,
Gina

This is about International order either, that the item will be deliver to

you have another options for the shipping that more cheaper than three's of
those, I accept it. About payment of my order, I prefer using my credit card to
pay all of my order include shipping and handling. Because I think this is the
easiest and fastest payment for internet purchase.

Please let me know if we can make good deal, I'm waiting your reply as soon as
possible. Have a nice day.

This Mark Tuyul tried to use my credit card info to order $1394 US for some jackets from BigBoyGear in CA. Fortunately for me the owner of the store called me and asked if I ordered. He then told me my address. This Mark Tuyul had all my info correct. Thank God the owner cancelled the order so my card would not be charged. I am going tomorrow morning to get a new card # issued. This guy needs to be stopped.

Everyone BEWARE and never, ever ever do business with Anita Lee, Aldino Gear etc.  They placed three orders with my small company.  THey have done charegbacks on all orders except for one so far.  I am just waiting to receive notice of that order being a charge back too.  This has froze all my paypal accounts which in turn stops my two business' until this is all fixed.  Both my web based shopping carts are attached to my paypal account so my business has been stopped for three weeks due to these crooks.  This has cost me so far over $8400.00  It is so frustrating to know there are crooks out there ripping us off.

Here is all the shipping information etc I have.

My fears were acknowledged.....all but one order from Aldino Gear/Anita lee they did Chargebacks on their credit cards.  To the tune of over $8400.00  I can not stress enough DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE CROOKS.  

This is not only hurting my business but, also my family etc. It really stinks!!!
