From the information compiled, between March and May 2025, an overseas partner led by Mo... placed orders for 21 containers of pepper but did not provide a deposit. The partner used multiple intermediary entities (Co..., Khi..., Uni..., Sh...) to build initial credibility. Trusting the trade confirmations, the Vietnamese company proceeded to ship; from late May to mid-July 2025, 20 containers arrived at Karachi port in Pakistan. After arrival, the partner repeatedly delayed payment for reasons such as awaiting bank confirmation and processing transfers. Meanwhile, the buyer sent fake funds transfer documents and requested unnecessary additional paperwork to prolong the timeline. The delays extended from May to September 2025, causing goods to accrue storage costs and exert financial pressure on the exporter. Taking advantage of this, the partner demanded deep price reductions, about 25% off the original contract price. Facing rising costs and the risk of disposal of goods at the destination, the exporter was forced to accept price concessions to limit losses. However, payment delays continued until the end of 2025. In the end, although some goods were salvaged, the Vietnamese company recorded total losses of approximately USD 600,000 (about VND 15.6 billion), including reduced sale price, storage and handling costs, logistics, and other costs. The incident also affected cash flow and credibility with transport partners and banks. VPSA described this as a deliberate fraud method: ordering large quantities without deposits, extending payments to incur costs, pressuring the seller to lower prices, and then continuing to delay to misuse benefits. VPSA advised exporters to exercise caution when dealing with new partners, especially in high-risk markets; do not ship goods without payment guarantees such as deposits, letters of credit, or bank guarantees; strengthen partner due diligence; coordinate with the Vietnamese Trade Office abroad; and draft robust contract terms, particularly on disposition of goods in disputes."
