This individual (Yared Teklezigi) is nothing more than a complete waste of time.

This is not a scam where this person took money from me or my business, but the scam

happen when he took us through this big lie that he wanted to buy overstock jeans from

us.

He first contacted me via Alibaba.com and wanted to know about our jean stock lot. I

then sent him some info in regards to that. He emailed me and told me that is what he is

looking for to ship to South Africa.

We negotiated on price (something where he wanted to buy for $2 less then asking

price, and we agreed just to bring in new business) and other details. I then sent him a

Purchase Order (which is standard in our business) and he claimed to fill out his

information, sign it, and send it back to me.

He never did that. I explained to him that is how we do our business, so we can release

paperwork to him for this stock. He told me over and over that he sent it but we never

received it in our emails. After a number of attempts he tells me and I quote "I'm not

that good with computers" and says that his friend is coming over to help him.

Needless to say I never received the purchase order back from us. However he sent me

a email stating that he will pay for the stock and is arranging shipping.

A few days past and I heard from him again. He told me that he now has shipping

arrangements (which wasn't completely true). On Civic Day (holiday in Canada) I spoke

with him and he and I had a great conversation about this stock. It sounded like this guy

really wanted to make a deal.

The day after the Civic Holiday (Tuesday) is when he was suppose to make the transfer.

He basically gave me one story after another and then eventually stop picking up his

phone. He told me that his foster child just past away a few days ago (after he told me

that his child was doing fine), but before that he claimed to of sent the transfer.

The funny thing about all of this is that he got a shipping company involved in this. I

spoke with the shipping company and they told me the quote and time for shipment,

but then lost contact with him as well.

I was going to file this complaint last week but after talking with my warehouse manager

and buying agent, we thought the best thing to do was to get him on the phone and try

again, since we really needed to sell this stock.

Keep in mind, this guy (who wants the jeans to ship to South Africa) kept telling me that
he wants the jeans and he wants to buy one 20ft shipment every month. At no time did

he ever say that he didn't want or need this stock any more. However he basically didn't

want to talk with me after he "claimed" he made the transfer.

So after several attempts, I got him on the phone and he told me and I quote "the

transfer didn't go through because the bank needed a invoice from the recipient".
So I got him a company invoice and he told me the next day at 10am is when he would

make the transfer to buy these jeans.

10am came and went...and I couldn't get a hold of him. He wanted to only text me and

then his excuse was that his wife needed to be a co-signer.

This guy must of thought I was a complete idiot, but this whole scam was strange. he

basically wanted to waste my company's time by asking to buy a stock and telling me a

1000 lies. He didn't scam us out of any money but it takes time and money to prepare

this stock. We have to pay these employees, materials, and warehouse space for each

and every stock that we have.

This complaint needed to be done to prevent Yared Teklezigi from contacting another

stocklot business and doing the same thing that he did to us. Hopefully they would do a

Google check and see this pop up.

I hope he makes a rebuttal to this but if he can do that, then he can easily pick up the

phone and call me. But scammers don't do that!

On August 20th, 2012 I filed a report Yared Teklezigi for lying about a wire transfer he had
sent. At that time he did lie to us but it was a simple misunderstanding that could of been taken
better care of on both sides.

On Sept 2nd, 2012 he contacted me (via text message) explaining that he was scammed a
un-disclosed amount and he was cautious to work with us. I understood that but also told him
that he could of communicated that with us earlier, to prevent this mix up.

Since then we have done business together and have established a trust and bond with
each other, professionally.

This man is NO SCAMMER, just a misunderstanding on both our parts.
