During
July 2003, we received inquiry from Mr. Batarseh to hold our
contract for ILCO in favor of Technocoatings and he assured that the
buyer " Technocoatings" had the banking capabilities but
he was requesting us to issue P. Bond and POP straight upon signing
contract (Doc
1) so
we refused his procedure because it sounded as shopper looking for
POP/P. Bond in advance to shop the contract.
Mr.
Batarseh called Mr. Aladdin "BPO Sales Manager" and
informed him that buyer do not know BPO, and he stick to process
according to his procedure and he is ready to supply us with
"BCL" Banking Capabilities Letter, if we accept to show
POP upon signing S&P contract with Technocoatins, so we agreed (Doc
2) and
in order we assure to Mr. Batarseh that Technocoatings knew us we
sent him firm request letter issued by Technocoatings and addressed
to us (Doc
3).
On
15th of July 2003, we received copy of BCL that Technocoatings
supplied to Mr. Batarseh, (Doc
5) and he apologized for the delay (Doc
4). Mr. Batarseh followed his email with phone call to Mr.
Aladdin to prompt send the S&P contract to process as agreed,
but Mr. Aladdin requested clarification to some points relay to the
sent BCL, such as:
-
Why
BCL dated 2002 ? while we are on 2003, which means it was issued
16 months ago and it is expired.
-
How
Commerzbank as rated bank accept to issue such BCL addressed
" To Whom It May Ever Concern" ?
-
Why
it was not signed by two different bank officers ? while same
bank officer sign twice !!.
-
Why
the bank seals one was black and other was colored?
The
above points made us doubt about the legibility of the BCL, and we
informed Mr. Batarseh that such verification should be done via our
banker with Commerzbank.
On
21 July we received a message from Mr. Batarseh informing us that we
are not allowed to verify the BCL with his banker unless such
S&P agreement signed between us
(Doc 6) Also he requested us to issue our official FCO in
favor of Technocoatings, which we did (Doc
8) during this period our banker was checking about the
BCL we received.
On
first of August 2003 we received a reply from our banker confirming
that BCL was fake, so we requested Mr. Batarseh to send us his full
communications with Technocoatings which relay to BCL (Doc
7).
During
May 2004, Ms. Kristina from BPO received inquiry from Mr. Ali Golcuk
to hold the contract of HSFO / Iraq in favor of his buyer, but his
buyer was requesting to show upfront our POP prior L/C. Mr. Aladdin
from BPO agreed to show POP under a condition that his buyer send
bank pre-advice letter to our banker confirm his readiness to open
L/C with 3 days from the day we post our POP.
(Doc
9) During that period we did not recognize that the buyer
of Mr. Ali was Technocoatings.
On
10 May we received a message directly from Technocoatings refusing
to move with bank communication unless he get POP. Mr. Aladdin
referred to the company Data Base and reviewed the file of
Technocoatings with the Fake BCL he supplied to us. So Mr. Aladdin
sent a clarification message to assure that the same party of
Technocoatings was communicating with us, and he received a reply
with confirmation (
Doc 10) and he was so proud that he has such BCL.
On
July 2004 we received a message Mr. Mike informing us that his buyer
is interested to move, but he wants us to follow buyer procedure
presuming it is compatible to INCOTERMS 200, which is POP & P.
Bond prior L/C. We replied to Mr. Mike that he is communicating with
Shopper not buyer. We ignored Mike request, many times for same
subject, but Mr. Mike kept insisting that his buyer is genuine and
ready to move, and only he needed draft contract to view. We replied
Mr. Mike with our request to disclose his buyer name. As we were
expecting, his buyer was Technocoatings, but the party whom was
communicating was Mr. Toni Stadler, Ass. Manager (Doc
11) . We informed Technocoatings that they will be
Black Listed at our website that being they are cheating and issuing
fake documents. So Technocoatings replied to our message with
threaten wording that they will move with court case against us (Doc
12). Therefore we accepted the challenge, and we
informed them that we are ready for such case.
Mr.
Mike tried many times to resolved amicably this matter with
Technocoatings without our previous acknowledge or even permission,
he thought such practice would help Technocoatings to be unpublished
at our website as black listed. Technocoatings requested Mr. Mike to
call Mr. Manfred Jache at Commerzbank Tel: 0049 8031 1808 12 to
verify the BCL from Commerzbank.
BPO
refused such practice, and in order we show flexibility, we
requested Mr. Mike "Via Cc message to
Technocoatings" to supply us with bank SWIFT, Telex in
order we verify via bank to bank. Also we gave a period of 24 hours
for Techocoating to provide us with the required information,
otherwise we shall publish Technocoating as black listed (
Doc 13).
The
24 hours was passed and Technocoatings as we were expecting was not
able to reply with the required information.
