Scammers are well informed about architecture, construction and large scale projects, might be or have been active in construction field.
They have sent me (and also to Chinese embassy!) many original looking documents, so they are quite clever and fearless.

I hope that my posting will help to prevent other design/architecture companies to fall for the same fraud.

If you have any additional information or need it from me (we have photos of those scammers!), please feel free to contact me!

Still, wishing HappyHolidays,

Ivika.

@Alien: 3500eur + transport, accommodation costs to/in Kunming.

@Long Dragon: yes, it's seems like a scam to me . Asking to pay notary fees might lead to next request, like it was in my case (remittance fees)
Do you know name of that Kunming's company?

Long-Dragon, can you give them my contact as well, then we can find out if they were scammed by the same people.

Bad or good people, it doesn't depend on nationality, foreigners or tourists are being treated differently in every country. We actually had lovely time in China, well except that fraud..

Anyway, i'd appreciate when you leave this post strictly for commenting subject as i've been contacted by second person who was scammed by the same group, so maybe there are others and together we might get somewhere.

to Long-Dragon:

most of people suggested to hire a lawyer, but for that amount that we've lost, doesn't make much sense.

My main wish would be report to somewhere, China might be corrupted, but there's should be at least some kind of organization who is dealing with scams, internet frauds etc., like in the rest of the world.

Response that as we're not in China, therefore can't do anything, doesn't satisfy me, this subject needs to be shared that more people won't fall for the same scam.
