auto exports| Horgos 'recent order fraud incident was dismantled, and car bookings at ports must read the pitch-avoidance guide

Instead ofpaying a deposit based on the frame number alone, the one-car multi-selling scam is raging at ports.

Recently, in the automobile export circle, orders were cheated at Horgos Port, which has been reported in major foreign trade resource groups. Many colleagues stepped into the trap, causing losses ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions. Many of them were holding orders from overseas customers and rolling over when they were stuck in the domestic vehicle source link.

1. Recently, two popular models have exploded: Changan Qiyuan Q05 + Corolla Reifang

These two models are the models with the highest incidence of fraud at ports this year.

Chang 'an Qiyuan Q05: Atypical case of selling more than one car

The scammers peddle on-the-way vehicles in the community, only sending out the frame number and vehicle photos, claiming that they can deliver Chang 'an Qiyuan Q05 on time, and attract many traders to pay a deposit with a price lower than the market price. Core routine: The same frame number is sold to several foreign trade companies at the same time, that is, one car is sold more than one. Many merchants successively made deposits, but when the delivery time was agreed, they were unable to deliver them; when they urged delivery, they continued to find reasons to delay them, and finally they lost contact directly, and the deposit was not refunded. The total amount involved in the case is as high as more than 30 million yuan, and a large number of deposits from peers cannot be recovered.

Corolla Reifang: The routine of a popular Japanese SUV is to "delay delivery for a long time"

The Corolla Reinfon is a very popular model in overseas markets. There is strong demand from customers in South America and Central Asia, and the market popularity is high. It has also become the focus of scammers.

The scammers releasedlow-cost vehicles to thepublic, promising that the vehicles were already on their way and would soon be transported to the port yard. After receiving the deposit, he kept looking for reasons to postpone the arrival at the port and delivery time, and postponed it indefinitely. Wait until you realize that something is wrong, the other party will either not refund the deposit, or will directly lose contact, and the car and money will be sold out.

Many people have a misunderstanding: getting the frame number = locking the vehicle.

The frame number screenshots and videos cannot prove the ownership of the vehicle at all and can be forwarded by anyone. If the vehicle has not been verified or inspected on site, this frame number will not count.

In addition, there are several types of high-frequency fraud cases:

Pretending to be an authorized channel of the main engine factory and falsely accepting orders in the name of the brand. After collecting the payment, there is no real source of the car, and the money will disappear directly. Lao Lai registered an empty shell supply chain company and used convenience such as VTB collection as bait to induce customers to directly transfer money to the other party's account. After collecting money, they lost contact, and many companies were recruited.

2. Why is Horgos prone to such scams?

Popular models (Corolla Reifang, Qiyuan Q05) are in high demand for overseas orders. Everyone is eager to find the source of the car and is easily attracted by quotationslower than the market price.

A large number of"stitching middlemen" at theport do not have real vehicles themselves, but only resell information. The market is rolling, and some people directlyrely on selling more than one truck to collect the deposit.

For cross-regional transactions, many traders will not personally go to the Horgos Yard to inspect vehicles. They will directly pay a large deposit when reading the information online, leaving room for the scammers to operate.

Long cross-border order chain: You have to fulfill your contract with overseas customers. Once the upstream vehicle source breaches the contract, you will not only lose the deposit, but also lose the overseas customers, and even pay liquidated damages. nbsp;

Some colleagues said that Nansha Port will be fine. In fact, whether Nansha or Horgos, the risks are the same. Last month, some colleagues stepped in and laid off employees to control risks. Up to now, all the money that has been trapped has not been recovered. Nowadays, the automobile export industry is seriously involved, with a large number of middlemen. Many people have no car source at all and just resell information.

3. 4 rigid risk control rules (practical implementation)

1. If you don't see the real car, no large deposit will be paid

Don't pay a deposit or the full amount simply based on the frame number video. The frame number does not mean that the car already belongs to you. Priority is given to arriving at the site for vehicle inspection and verifying the frame number on site. Your own people must follow up and deliver the car throughout the process to prevent more than one car. Especially for popular Japanese cars such as the Corolla Reifang, low prices are the hardest hit areas on the road, so you must be vigilant. nbsp;

2. Funds must be transferred to public and private accounts must be refused.

The contract entity, collection account, and billing entity remain consistent. Try to transfer large amounts of money to the public and do not make large payments from private accounts. The contract must clearly state the delivery time, refund in full if overdue, and state the compensation standard for liquidated damages. Once you call it to a personal account, the difficulty of subsequent rights protection and recovery of money increases exponentially. Before cooperation, conduct enterprise back-investigation through enterprise investigation to check whether there are records of execution and height limit, and never blindly invest money. nbsp;

3. Confirm the main engine factory policy to avoid the risk of remote car locking

Even if you get the car and leave the country successfully, you should also pay attention to the risk of remote locking the car. After some new cars leave the country, they will trigger regional control of the main engine factory. The vehicles will be directly locked overseas, making the customers unable to use them. In the end, the exporter will bear all the losses. This hidden danger exists in both Japanese and new energy models.& nbsp;

4. Before cooperation, we must do a good job in corporate back-up

Before cooperating with new suppliers, they must check the company's qualifications, litigation and execution records. Don't just look at the quotes, huge risks are often hidden behind high price differences.

4. Reminder to automobile exporters 

When doing overseas markets (South America, Central Asia, etc.), everyone is accustomed to focusing on overseas access, tax rebates, and customs clearance. However, domestic upstream vehicle source procurement is the first risk barrier. No matter how large an overseas order is, if upstream vehicles are involved in the pit, not only will it not make profits, but deposit losses and customer claims for breach of contract will directly eat up the entire business.& nbsp;

The temptation of low prices at ports is essentially a risk consideration. In industries with transparent markets, there are no car sources far below the market price. The price is significantly lower than the market, so we must be wary of scams first, rather than calculating profits first.

The industry dividends are still there, it doesn't matter if you make less, and financial security will always rank first.& nbsp; 

Earlier, we talked about the financial and tax logic of South American market choices and export tax rebates. Today, we dismantled the case of popular models in the port supply chain. In the next issue, we will continue to talk about the key points of foreign exchange settlement and risk control of foreign exchange collection for automobile exports. Continue to pay attention and understand the risks across the entire chain of automobile exports.
