One of the most troubling concerns of today's economy is the possibility of internet-fraud. If anybody plan to buy a car, machinery, instrument, electronics, or anything from an exporter in Japan, it is strongly recommend for buyer's own safety to verify any Japanese website or company's status under the "Japan Company Trust Organization" www.japancompanytrust.org which is an anti-fraud organization in Japan. This Organization has close connection with Japanese police, and all fraud-attempts are immediately reported to Japanese Police Department. JCTO (Japan Company Trust Organization) watch each firm to make sure that any Japanese company that passes their scrutiny will not victimize any customer. JCTO verify the company’s profile including registration, license, physical address confirmation, and company's previous record. Companies with criminal record are not eligible for registration. Since Japanese companies are respected for their honesty, fraudulent take advantage of this image of Japanese enterprises. Please warn all companies and individuals DO NOT remit money to any so-called Japanese company without verification at "Japan Company Trust Organization. As a courtesy, please spread this message to as many as possible forums and mass-media to help others to avoid falling victim of fraudulent.

I have looked at the webpage mentioned above. This organization is not a government organization. I would not be too sure that the companies they endorse are safe to buy from. But why would you buy from a Japanese company anyway? All legitimate Japanese companies probably have American distributors. I think this discussion topic shoud go under the spam category. |
