We were contacted by a Representative from Trade Electronics Co named Karina, about a week after filling out a call-back form on their web site (www.tradeelectronics.com). Our initial orders were small - 5 or 20 items valued at no more that $30 each. We were sent those items in a timely fashion, and sent price lists for popular products such as the new XBOX 360 Elite, Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3. Most searches for the company produced what seem to be valid addresses, and a decent amount of online sites that offer their products. We assumed there were no reasons not to proceed with larger orders, plus I was able to see their branded products listed on eBay and other sites
We placed an order for 10 XBOX 360 Elites, and paid an additional $200+ for 2nd day air shipping. Due to an unrelated error by UPS, our cashiers check was misplaced and we had to send a wire transfer for the amount. We had already started receiving orders and Bids from eBay and decided to order an additional 25 units to ensure we could fill all the orders. Within two days we received a tracking number from the company for what we thought were the first 10 XBOXs we ordered late but still in time to satisfy customers. The box that was delivered contained only headsets made by Trade Electronics, not Microsoft. All attempts to locate our products have been met with elusive tactics by Karina, the only person we have been able to speak with regarding Trade Electronics company. Thats when I began to do in-depth research.
We have since found that Trade Electronics Co. is a fraudulent company, partaking in illegal activity by misrepresenting the nature of their business, the ownership and structure of the company, the companys location, the products and services they can provide, and numerous other misgivings.
The only point of contact for the company, one Karina Knausederova, claims to be a sales associate, with no insight into the companys finances when, in fact, she is listed as the President of the company in the only two Better Business Bureau listings for Trade Electronics. Several internet searches have turned up fraud reports with her name and the companys name and address specifically, and each points out the same pattern of behavior I have witnessed.

I have been told by Karina that a refund can be issued, but not through her department. She insists that she is only an employee of the company, when public records say otherwise. The phone number on the invoices that the payments were derived from has been disconnected. The only in-service number listed for the company turns out to be Karinas personal cell phone [786-274-3846]. I have no reason to believe that any other principals exist for this company.
I am now under an umbrella of suspicion from eBay and PayPal. We have provided this information to our customers, and started issuing refunds, but I do receive threats daily from some, vowing to have us arrested. We have cooperated in full with eBay and PayPal but, as of now we will have to take out a loan to refund customers purchases.
As of the day I filed this report, I have contacted the FBI's IC3 division, the FTC, the BBB and the Miami-Dade Sherriff's Office. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I am almost $10,000 in debt now and I can't get it back.

Finally got my money back.

Well, the system works. My local law enforcement in Warner Robins, Georgia tracked down the elusive Ms. Knausederova and my wife and I got back what was stolen from us. The moral of the story is don't take this lying down. If you've been harmed, take what you have to the authorities and let them do what they do best.

She's in Jail Now!

Finally! Though I am currently deployed to Southwest Asia, my wife was able to pass on the good news that Ms. Knausederova was arrested and then extradited from Florida to Georgia to answer to charges of Theft by Deception. At least it's a start. She is also wanted in another state for fraud charges. If you have also been harmed by her fraud, you know how hard it has been for anyone to catch up with her. We can only hope now that justice will be served and that maybe other victims will come forward.

Criminal Charges Filed

SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 09, 2007
After getting ripped off by Karina, I took action and contacted the FBI's IC3 division, the FTC, the BBB, the Miami-Dade Sherriff's office, my local Police department, my District Attorney and other consumer protection agencies.
Her actions should not go unpunished, so I am soliciting information from everyone harmed by her antics to show the court that this is a negative trend of shady, criminal behavior and she should be stopped. Court date is set for late July/early August (finalized date coming), so I need documents/info as soon as possible so, please contact me if you want to get involved.

I am certain that any investigation into the business ventures of this company will produce collaborating information.
