No more Internet Fraud!

2014-01-19T21:43:00.002-08:00

Japanese companies are being warned to look out for potential cyber-fraud and scams that specifically target trading companies or exporters.

Most of them, may not have the time, knowledge or resources available to invest in security systems that provide better resilience to scams. This is a vulnerability that scammers know of and use to their advantage.

Japanese Companies (suppliers) have been attacked by hackers, who enter in their computer system and steal all contacts from email book address. Then, these ‘scammers’ watch all communication between Japanese supplier and buyers, waiting the right time to attack you.

This happen when the deal is done and your supplier from Japan issue your pro-forma invoice and send to you by email. After a while you will receive an Authorization Letter from these Scammers saying that its bank account has changed.

If you don’t take the following actions, perhaps you will be a victim of internet fraud:

1) Make sure all communication (emails) comes from your Supplier, not Hackers (who make very similar email accounts to your supplier)

2) Avoid any payment from suspicious email which attached AUTHORIZATION LETTER or saying that bank account has changed.

3) Before you make any payment, try to call your supplier to double check the bank account

4) Call your supplier and request your pro forma by fax (make sure it will come from you trust supplier). Never request by email (Hackers will send you fake fax too)

5) Usually this hackers will ask you to make payment to different company name than you are dealing with or private accounts sometimes in different country. Never make unusual wire transfer besides your supplier.

J. Trading Corporation supports initiatives aimed at fighting internet fraud and scams. While there are ways to reclaim funds if you have been defrauded, you should think twice before parting with your money. Before making any transfers to a company that you have never dealt with before you should ascertain that you are dealing with a legitimate business.

There are good reasons why many leading banks encourage their clients to be extra careful when dealing with an internet business and very often require a reconfirmation before carrying out any remittance request.

It is of course best to prevent becoming a victim of fraud in the first place

J. Trading Corporation is doing all possible to prevent and stop Internet Fraud related crimes. In the past we successfully terminated attempts of the criminals to take advantage of internet media with the purpose of deceiving customers and making them transfer the payments for the goods they never possessed. We have the latest technology recommended by the cyber police division to make sure that all attempts for criminal action are intercepted within the shortest possible time.

If you are reporting a fraud case please be specific with such details as names of the people you were dealing, internet address, bank account you transferred the payment. There are two effective police forces in place to fight internet fraud and we highly advise you to report your case to the professionals:

In case the fraud is coming from US based company, you can report it to FBI affiliated organization called Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC Center) The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (IFCC) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). IFCC's mission is to address fraud committed over the Internet. For victims of Internet fraud, IFCC provides a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of a suspected criminal or civil violation. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at all levels, IFCC offers a central repository for complaints related to Internet fraud, works to quantify fraud patterns, and provides timely statistical data of current fraud trends.

Here are some more tips to reduce the chances of being a victim of Internet Fraud.

Here are basic things that you need to have in mind:

Company must have an Official Webpage with own domain
Company should have its physical address, phone numbers and fax numbers on the website.
Company must have its license or registration number
Contact JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization)
Contact your Embassy in Japan. The embassy of your country in Japan has local knowledge and may in many cases provide you with information you need to make a sensible decision.

Japan’s Tsunami affected construction Machinery export Market

Japan's Earthquake and Tsunami on March 11, 2011 affected Construction Machinery Import and Export Market.

As result, most of importers migrated to USA market where there is a huge selection of machineries and price as good as Japan used to be before the disaster.

Why import a car rather than buy cars locally?

The choice of cars is much larger! - You can buy your car from private sellers in USA, from car auctions, from car yards and many other places such as EBay.

Save lots of money by importing your next car from USA - If you were to buy your American car locally you would pay much more then importing it yourself.

Buy and sell for profit - Making money on American import cars is easy. Buy cars for cheap in America, import them and sell them for a profit in your country! It is easy to make huge profits if you import the car yourself.

Be the first owner in your country - Own your car in your country before anybody else gets their grubby mitts on it. (This really is a great feeling)

At used car auctions houses іn America, all kind of cars are available for sale, and many οf thеm аrе sold аrе very ехсеllеnt prices. Even taking thе shipping cost іntο account, іt іѕ possible tο import a car directly frοm USA аt аn advantageous price.

5 TIPS to get cheaper cars

1) VOLUME -Knowing hοw many οf a particular model sell per week tеll уου nοt οnlу hοw well lονеd a car іѕ, bυt іt аlѕο dilutes thе competition. It іѕ even possible tο еnd up being thе οnlу bidder οn a car аt thе еnd οf thе day, ѕіnсе οthеr bidders mіght bе gone, leaving уου wіth a ехсеllеnt price. Bу selecting models wіth high volume, уου саn avoid multiple bidders thаt wіll drive up thе price tοο much

2) Year. Buying nеw car directly frοm USA іѕ generally a tеrrіblе thουght. Thеу аrе going tο bе јυѕt аѕ expensive, especially аftеr уου consider shipping. Alѕο, unless thе car іѕ a classic, try tο avoid cars over ten years ancient. Thе best range іѕ аbουt 3 tο 10 years ancient. Cars within thіѕ age range hаνе thе best differential between prices іn US аnd other countries.

3) Mileage. Aѕ уου wουld expect, thе lower thе mileage thе higher thе bid price. Tο gеt thе best price tο resale value ratio, aim fοr cars wіth a mileage јυѕt a small bit higher thаn average. If thе car іѕ over one hundred thousand mileages, thе value drops quickly. Thе winning bid wіll bе lower thаn average, bυt уου won’t bе аblе tο resell thе car аt a profit.

4) Condition. Thе score given bу thе inspector іѕ thе single mοѕt significant factor іn affecting price. You will get used to the price market once you start importing cars.

5) Color. Believe іt οr nοt, color іѕ a significant factor іn thе auction price οf a car. People wіll pay much more fοr a car thаt іѕ a well lονеd color. Fοr example, a black 2007 Ford F150 wіll sell fοr $1,000 higher οn average thаn other color οf exactly thе same model.

Whеn уου take аll thеѕе points іntο account whеn bidding аt a car auction іn Ameria, уου аrе more lіkеlу tο gеt a better price fοr resale value. With our auto specialist you will have all information necessary to get your best possible deal

2011 Ferrari 458

2010-12-24T00:50:00.001-08:00

A warning: If you are reading this and you own a Ferrari, you probably enjoy driving it very much. Unless you also have $225, 000 ready to spend, don’t go drive the new 458 Italia. Because if you do, you won’t like your car anymore.

Ferrari has finally unveiled its replacement for the F430 with the much-anticipated 458 Italia. The announcement of the new Ferrari 458 Italia, the successor to the current Ferrari 430 model, representsa giant leap forward in design, technology and environmental efficiency for the Italian automaker. A two-seat berlinetta, Ferrari calls its 458 Italia “a completely new car from every point of view: engine, design, aerodynamics, handling, instrumentation and ergonomics.”
2011 Ferrari 458 Italia’s power comes from a 4.5L V8, which is the first Ferrari direct-injection engine to be mid-rear mounted. It delivers a total of 570-hp at 9,000 rpm with a maximum torque of 398 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm – over 80 percent of which is available from 3,250 rpm. In plain English – that is stunningly fast. Mated to a dual-clutch 7-speed F1 gearbox, 0 to 62 mph comes in just 3.4 seconds with a top speed of over 202 mph. Wondering how many miles per gallon you’ll get with the 458 Italia? Ferrari estimates average fuel-consumption at 13.7 l/100 km, which is 17.1 mpg on our side of the world.

Honda FIT Hybrid

2010-12-20T17:53:00.000-08:00

Just the Facts:

Honda is planning a major jump in hybrid sales in Japan in 2011.
New Fit-based hybrid wagon and minivan lead the charge.
Major update for the Insight is also part of the ramp-up.

TOKYO — Honda will put pedal to the metal in Japan next year when a new and bigger range of hybrid models will land on the market.
Joining the CR-Z and Fit Hybrid on the scene will be a hybridized version of the Freed, Honda's quirky small domestic van. Honda will also introduce a stretched wagon version of the Fit hybrid for domestic consumption, according to sources. The front half of the body will be stock, but overall length will stretch by more than 2 feet.
The Fit hybrid wagon is expected out in March, while the Freed hybrid will arrive later, around fall 2011.
The redesigned Civic Hybrid, to be unveiled in January at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show and tipped to be the first Honda hybrid to get a lithium-ion battery pack, will be another 2011 debut, but Japan, in fact, might not get it.
Having announced the end of Civic sales in Japan and with that longer Fit hybrid wagon in the wings, Honda may feel that it doesn't need the new Civic Hybrid in Japan anymore, not even as an iconic stand-alone model.
Honda will also have the Insight to fall back on, of course, and the good news there is that that to-date lackluster model is due for a major revamp next July.
Toyota will counter with a hybrid version of the new Vitz (Yaris) and Mazda is promising a face-lifted Madza 2 with the automaker's new Skyactiv G gas engine that can achieve hybrid-type economy without the weight and complexity of battery and motor.
Add it up and, although the technology is light and compact, Honda's IMA hybrids have yet to truly catch on and/or frighten Toyota, the market leader. So will 2011 at last be the turning point for Honda?
