I agree with CupOfTea. Alibaba should act as the middle man to hold money in escrow. As the medium for global trade, it would only work in the best interests of Alibaba to do this in order to establish legitimacy. Otherwise Alibaba will just be known as a scamming website, making it easier for scammers to steal the money of unsuspecting individuals around the world who come to Alibaba under the false pretense of being legitimate because the trading is hosted by what appears to be a legitimate site run by Alibaba.

I believe I have just been scammed by an Indonesian company selling Shimano fishing reels. The phone number I called was probably just his cell phone. I haven't heard from him since I paid almost a week ago, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt since an earthquake occured in Indo 2 days after my payment, but affter reading all of these posts, I think I can pretty much kiss my money goodbye.

Does anyone who has been scammed have info on what Alibaba does to help those who have been scammed? I am thinking they don't do anything.

Just watch out for those Indonesian fishing reel suppliers. To me, it looks like after they steal someone's money, they just start a new company in Alibaba under someone else's name. All the company profiles look the same, and one company happened to start up at the same time I lost contact with my supplier.

Come on Alibaba! Step up and protect the users, both the suppliers and buyers and maybe you will be like ebay.

Replying to [richardshu]: I am really upset of per your statement on Fujian Company. Firstly, I am from Xiamen, I am doing Windows/doors business. Personally, I always would like to invite all of the potential customers to visit us and our factory. I think you must have been cheated by a Fujian company. I am reall sorry to hear that. But it doesn't mean every Fujian company is cheater. As I had been in the international business for more than 5 years, I had met lots of customers who is cheater too. Especially many of the HK companies are middle men or even private person. Some of them always ask for samples for free without order, even some of the HK poeple come to China and ask for dinner,entertainment and then disapear, can you say that all the HK customers are cheaters??

I think everyone will risk in doing business no matter on internet or telephone. But we have to verify carefully by ourselves. In one word, there is bad egg among the heap in the basket.

Replying to [stu aus]:hello, you said that compay sell goods on aliabab.right? pl make sure if this company is golden supplier in alibaba web site.if they are,then do not worry,they must be real company as they said.
for if one company want to become the golden suppier in alibaba,it must give their BUSINESS LICENCE, TAX REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE..... if they are not real company,the china government can not give them these things.

good luck!
