Backstory

Our company and TOBO agreed to business terms in good faith. We set a fair price and quantity with 100% prepayment. We wired the money to TOBO and received confirmation that they received the funds.

Then Laura told me they wouldn’t be able to supply the specific material we needed and offered a lower-quality grade of material. We politely declined and asked that TOBO refund the money. Instead, Laura offered us less than half the quantity of parts we originally agreed to. We again declined and requested a refund.

Over two months, Laura and her colleagues misled my team with delays and excuses, blaming their bank and even the Chinese government. Tork Systems will next be pursuing legal action against TOBO Group to recover our money. If you or anyone else has had issues with TOBO Group, please get in touch. We’re sure we’re not the first to get defrauded by them, but hopefully we can be the last.
