Complaint Review: Apex Textiles

In summary, we contracted to purchase product, paid the advance of 30%, and company did not ship and refuses to return the money.  In detail below.

• On 5/30/2017 Apex Textiles solicited to sell cotton comber to my company, Starmarc, Inc.

• On 7/27/2017 - Starmarc, Inc. entered into a contract with Apex Textiles with following:

  • 4 Container loads – 1st container must be received prior to accepting the final 3

  • 30% Advance payment, 70% prior to arriving Port

  • Seller agrees to ship within 5 days (Mr. Yashdeep Goel with Apex Textiles marked thru “5” to “15”) upon receipt of wire transfer and deliver within 55 days to agreed port.

  • On 7/28/2017 Starmarc wired 30% deposit per contract terms in the amount of $8,500 USD

• On 7/31/2017 Mr. Yashdeep Goel sent an Apex Textiles contract with similar terms.  Starmarc, Inc. signed and returned with changes.

• “Dispatch – August – 15 Days from Advance”

• “Dispatch – October – 15 Days from Advance”

• Changes to contract by Starmarc, Inc.:  Total Price stated on contract “$1,08,240.00”.  Starmarc corrected to “$108,240.00”

• No other terms or agreements were made that are not stated on the contract.  Apex Textiles, Mr. Yashdeed Goel, proceeded to request and falsely make accusation for the delays in shipment in his emails and WhatsApp correspondence.

• Floods preventing the shipment, however stipulated via WhatsApp on 8/23, “We are packing it” included pictures, but did not provide definitive ship dates when requested. 

• Apex Textiles, Mr. Yashdeep Goel, requested Starmarc Inc. to supply D&B reports as he stated the “D&B reports were requested by his bank”.  No mention in contract to supply D&B reports and further educated Mr. Goel, D&B reports are used to distinguish if a company is credit worthy, Starmarc, Inc. is paying for product in advance, no credit is being provided, and furthermore, the seller pays D&B to receive these reports.  A bank would not request for D&B reports unless they are providing credit.  We did not find his statement credible, furthermore upon contacting the State Bank of India found his statement to be complete false.

• Mr. Yashdeep Goel falsely states, Starmarc, Inc. is on an OFAC list.  We found no records to support this false accusation, when asked to provide supporting documents, no response.  When researching on OFAC list, no records were found.  False accusation in trying to damage our company reputation is illegal and considered defamation of character claim, a civil claim in U.S. Courts.  

• Due to Apex Textiles not upholding the terms of the contract and due to the lack of trust, we asked the return of our deposit in the amount of $8,500. 

• Mr. Rajesh Singh, the owner of Apex Textiles, states in the email correspondence he will return the money, but does not and also states in emails "NEVER CHEATED ANY CUSTOMER IN LIFE", however by not shipping the product where they received a deposit and not returning the money is clearly a sign of FRAUD and "CHEATING A CUSTOMER."

• Another sign of fraud, the individuals never sign their full name and no one at the company has personal email which is another RED FLAG.   We made a mistake and will lose $8,500 we hope people will read this and make sure it does not happen to them. 

• Do not pay them in advance and if you come across Mr. Rajesh Singh, Yashdeep Goel, or Shishir Goyal, don’t walk, RUN, as you ultimately will be scammed.
