⚠️ Warning: Lianzhu Metal Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. – Scam Alert
If you’re researching Lianzhu Metal Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd., also known as Lianzhu Metal or Lianzhu Steel, and wondering whether this company is legitimate or a scam, read this carefully.
We are publishing this page to warn international buyers and traders that Lianzhu Metal is connected to a network of fraudulent companies operating from Shandong, China, that have been scamming businesses globally.
❗ Who is Lianzhu Metal?
Lianzhu Metal Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. is the latest name being used by a group of individuals and companies previously operating under names like:
Rigang Metal Group Co. Ltd.
Shandong Rigang Metal Products Co., Ltd.
Dongte Steel (Shandong) Group Co., Ltd.
Shandong Nuozhong Steel Co., Ltd.
Qirun Steel (Shandong) Group Co., Ltd.
Many others...
These companies have identical sales tactics, staff, documents, and websites, and in some cases even use the same domain hosting patterns and shipping lines. They are part of a systematic steel coil scam targeting buyers in the UAE, Europe, Mexico, South America, India, and Africa.
🚩 What is the Scam?
Buyers are lured in with competitive prices and professional-looking websites, certificates, and photos. After payment is made (usually 30% advance or more), here is what typically happens:
Short-shipped cargo – Up to 30–40% of the ordered steel is not sent
Fake weights on Bills of Lading – BLs declare inflated weights that don’t match actual cargo
Low-grade steel – Buyers order Q235 or better but receive Q195 or even worse
No support or response – Once questioned, they disappear or make empty promises
Use of multiple company names – They switch names every few months to stay ahead of complaints

We are a UAE-based company that has lost over USD 1 million dealing with this scam. Our direct losses from Lianzhu Metal and its connected companies amount to USD 543,000 from short shipments and non-delivery, plus further losses from substandard materials.
