elecinchina.com Kay liu i made a $300 transaction (for some apple products) - never got the item or $ !! Internet

i have bought (try to buy some apple products) & came across this company (http://elecinchina.com/) and this person (kay liu) and this email ( elecinchina@elecinchina.com ) which sound real, but there are not real. its a scam.....  i made a $300 transaction (western union & i never seen the product or any $. (in fact they try to say that its in customs (china customs-which has nothing to do with transactions to U.S.) (there is customs fees - but only once the products get to U.S. & there also not 50% of the value of the items that are getting shipped - its more like (2.5-4%-- but again its for U.S. customs not China customs)- anyway and try to get more $ ($150) for some (China) customs fees.

its a scam i am a victim - but you dont have to be a victim

thank you & my advice - just take a few extra steps to try to find out everything you can about the company and the more research you do the better. & try to use good companys that will protect your transactions - like pay pal (they charge a fee - but sometimes a small fee is better then a big loss!
