What % of these phone sellers might be fraudsters / scammers?
Post 1 of 28
I searched for "Treo 700P phones" under "Selling Leads" on Alibaba.
I'm interested to know what % of suppliers in the search result might be scammers ...

Search result showing listed sellers for Treo 700P phones
Your views would be greatly appreciated ... it's for educational purposes in our Due Diligence forum.

There were maybe two or three I couldn't immediately identify as being most likely fraudulent, out of 22 results on that search page. Though some were even deleted already. So at least 90% maybe.

Replying to [Aussie]:The one offering the lowest price can totally be ignored. Scam written all over it. In fact I think, there is a certain reasonable for all of them except the trustpass Alibaba member.
But still u must asked if they have the license from the international distributor to export the products.

Replying to [Aussie]:2 companies from United Kingdom are 100% scammers ( I can show you that ). And for the whole search the percent I think is over 50%, maybe 60%.

Replying to [Aussie]:Just taking a look with no research I'd say 80 - 85% are fraudulent. ![[em9]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_dizzy.gif)
