Quoting from [jeddahprojects]:
What is the liability of Alibaba on Trust Pass members who became scammers?
Gold Suppliers and TrustPass members have passed an authentication and verification process performed by a third-party credit reporting agency; inasmuch, they are legitimate companies. But, as business is always full of risks, we can never guarantee it is 100% safe to trade with these paid members. You need to check their reputation through additional means, such as offline contact and factory inspection.
