Blackstonebeats.com Reputation Check

We were approached by BlackStone Solutions LLC through its website, blackstonebeats.com, regarding a potential business relationship to supply industrial and specialty chemicals for the Brazilian market. Initially, the inquiry appeared legitimate. They expressed interest in five of our products, requested quotations and technical specifications, and indicated an annual purchasing budget of approximately USD 300,000. Following our quotation, they proposed an initial order worth approximately USD 100,000, with detailed quantities for each product. They also proposed payment terms of 50% advance and 50% before shipment, requested our company's business registration documents, and suggested an online meeting with their management. However, several aspects of the transaction raised concerns. The proposed quantities appeared to have been calculated specifically to bring the total order value to almost exactly USD 100,000. Additionally, despite proposing a substantial order for the Brazilian market, they stated that the final importer of record would be determined only after the regulatory and documentation procedures were completed. The discussion also raised questions about Brazilian certification and compliance requirements, making us cautious about proceeding without independent verification. We subsequently researched the company and discovered reports from other suppliers describing remarkably similar approaches involving BlackStone Solutions, proposed purchases for the Brazilian market, and concerns regarding certification procedures. These reports further increased our concerns about the legitimacy of the business opportunity. Given these concerns, we decided not to engage with the company any further and chose to ignore its subsequent attempts to contact us. We did not consider the proposed business opportunity sufficiently credible to justify further engagement. Based on our experience, we strongly advise other manufacturers and exporters to exercise extreme caution when approached by this company. Independently verify the buyer's identity, the proposed importer, and all regulatory and certification requirements before sharing sensitive business documents, incurring expenses, or committing production capacity. We cannot independently establish every allegation made in the reports we encountered. However, the similarities to our own experience were concerning enough that we would recommend thorough due diligence before proceeding with any transaction. Our experience raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of this inquiry. Exporters should be particularly cautious about any certification process involving payments to third-party organizations before a genuine purchase order and the buyer's credentials have been independently verified.

It seemed too good to be true. Two people with Eastern European accents called me several times and strongly insisted that I send them our catalogue and then prices for products they had selected. They claimed to be a US company that currently sells Brazilian products in Brazil and is looking for new brands. I immediately received a preliminary order worth USD 100,000, along with a link to an online meeting with the supervisor of the people who had been calling me. I did not click on the link. I consider the whole story to be spam.

The brazilian partnership offer is a scam. Scammers use widely known certificate scam. Don't download any files they send you.

The company Black Stone Solutions they started to negotiate with us on trying to buy for Brazilian market. After all those years of experience, the way it self was very suspicious. After doing a search over this company, saw the real resemblance with other Blackstones (especially on some billin USD value companies), and it is strange in our world time some people are still caught into this. So watch out ... they are totally scam.

The company Black Stone Solutions (www.blackstonebeats.com) is a scam. They contact you by phone and email to propose a partnership for the distribution of products (cosmetics) in the Brazilian market, but they “offer” you their product certification companies to ensure that the products can be sold there. If you carry out the certification with “their companies” of dubious origin, the cost can range from €2,000 to €3,000, but if, quite rightly, you suggest carrying out the validation with reputable companies with a presence in Brazil, they seem fine with everything—until it comes to confirming the orders. At that point, they vanish without a trace, leaving no response. The structure of the scam is curious, given that after they disappear on failing to get the money, another scammer who has nothing to do with the first one may contact you again, but calling from the same phone number and using the same email address, without knowing the first person who contacted you or what had been arranged previously. You must avoid and report this type of bogus company, which only seeks to defraud you through supposed certifications or studies from front companies.
