Violante review: Fraud 1

This company, Violante, Tax Code VLN F62S13Z133, entered into an arrangement with my company to supply and ship to Australia a quantity of beverages. They made themselves out to be legitimate and even held a Skype conversation with me assuring me all was in order and legitimate. I subsequently transferred funds to their account as agreed, and they have since failed to have any further contact with me. The company name is registered as being situated in Milano Italy. Prior to agreeing to proceed I attempted to contact the Italian finance department to verify tax number. This seemed to indicate it was legitimately registered. But that doesn't seem to stand for much in some countries.
