Fraud by a thailand company

A company based in Delhi has been offered by  a Thailand based company some machines (Allegedly in UK). The company in India paid money via bank transfer and the thai company did not give any shipment details. Later the India company found that the company in Thailand was a fraud company, the addreess was not present and there was no machines in UK to be shipped.

Now the question is What should this Indian company do?

1. Should it file a complaint in Delhi with Delhi police (Which PS or where)?

2. Should the complaint to be filed in Thailand

3. Anybody know the procedure to file complaint in Thailand.

Company is based in Delhi. Payment has been made from Delhi via bank transfer. This means that part of the transaction has taken place in Delhi. So, you can file the FIR in Delhi in the police station in which area the payment was made via bank transfer (or may be perhaps where the company is having its registered office or may be with the Crime Branch of Delhi Police). It is basically a case of cheating. However, the problem will be to conduct the investigation and take action against the Thailand company. It will be a time-consuming and complicated process.

 

In such cases, it is always advisable NOT to make the payment directly to the party in another country but to do it through banks so that the payment is released to the party by the bank only after the goods are shipped and cleared.
