Abdul Aziz LTD Accepting payments for goods but don't deliver London United Kingdom

After negotiating a deal for a supply of electrical goods, and receiving an invoice with all terms and arrangements, including free shipping, a payment was made for $1800 AUD in accordance. Upon receiving the payment, Abdul notified me that I would need to transfer more funds to pay for shipping taxes and fees. This amount equalled $1300 AUD. A small portion was to pay UK government taxes, that after research, are not attached to exported goods to my country. The remainder of the fees was to be for customs fees.

Abdul nominated a shipping agent, and agreed to free shipping. The agent when contacted, quoted an exact price, including all relevant fees and taxes that would be required. That price was for $347 AUD total. After requesting more details, documents or proof of any official payments, Abdul has continually refused to supply anything except rude replies. He did however reduce the amount by $400 AUD. The unnecessary tax amount. Funds remainding to be paid $850 AUD. These figures are close equivalents as USD, AUD, and GBK figures were involved.

Finally having had enough I wrote Abdul stating he breached the contract and that I require a full refund. The immediate reply stated that I had to pay the funds "or else" and also contained the phrase " have me arrested by the FBI or Interpol and I will refund your money". Since this letter I have made incident reports to the Australian Police, UK Metropolitan Police, Office of Fair Trading in both countries as well as a number of computer fraud authorities. Abdul lists his business on various sites, to false addresses, and to strange or incorrect phone numbers. The person who the funds were made payable to is also in receipt of regular monies. This also unfortunately highlights that Western Union is not a very good way to transfer money, a lesson which I have sorely learned. At the time of this writing, all details have been made available to UK Detectives to investigate further.
