Negli ultimi mesi la nostra Camera di Commercio ha ricevuto diverse segnalazioni da parte di aziende Italiane truffate da falsi consulenti commerciali. I suddetti “consulenti” contattano aziende dalla Florida offrendo servizi di inserimento del loro prodotto nel mercato americano e chiedendo il pagamento anticipato di una quota intorno ai 1500-2000 Euro per un “sondaggio prodotto” o “certificazione del prodotto”.

Una volta che le aziende italiane effettuano il pagamento verso il presunto consulente commerciale americano, questo puntualmente sparisce e non risponde ne’ a email ne’ a chiamate telefoniche.

Questi truffatori di solito effettuano un lavoro di mass mailing nei confronti di aziende in Italia dei settori piu’ disparati promettendo un facile ingresso nelle grandi catene di distribuzione.

Si prega pertanto di fare molta attenzione e di diffidare di proposte ricevute da generiche agenzie di promozione commerciale che propongono il versamento di un’acconto alla ditta Italiana per testare o certificare il prodotto sul mercato prima di commercializzarli.
