Hi all,
Just want to let you know that I have called every single company from Finland providing NOKIA phones.... they do not exist... the phone numbers are either inexistent or calling private people...
Also contacted few via alibaba and all scammers trying to get me to pay via WU or alibaba third party with fake emails after they get all the details from you
I would suggest everyone that has such experience to take the time and post it on alibaba also report them as scammers
Thanks

Replying to [tkammyus]: First off there is no third party payment service offered by alibaba.com

Second it's of no suprise that they are all fake in Finland. There are no real distributors on Alibaba for these types of electronics. There are some brokers and traders and re-sellers. Re-sellers ie trading companies make their money because most new buinesses have no idea how to go about finding real distributors. Also if you were buying from a distributor, broker or trader they would not be selling in small quanities. In fact they do not want to deal in small MOQ's and actually sign up VAR's to move their products in smaller MOQ's

Hi.
I am in the same situation The photos are ok and the prices too. But how can I be shure if the products are genuine? Are the Gold supliers mark enough? is there anyone who have already ordered from these supliers? And what's the feedback? Thanks to all!

Replying to [tkammyus]:

Im from Finland, if u need help just send msg.

Replying to [habibou]: & Jozper !!

Please both, take it to your knowledge, that you can not buy originals in China !
All what is offered is fake, scrap or will simply not be delivered !

Thousand times it is posted in the Boards !!!!

No Brands in China are cheaper, in the real life the Chinese pay more than US citizen !

Im dealing with these suppliers right now, as we speak.
A couple of the suppliers said that they need payments to be made in WU or Money gram, but what am i sepose to make out of the ones that accept COD(cash on delivery), it seems like a good deal, a try before you buy scenario.
Pleas reply ASAP on what you think about this issue.
Thank you
Tom

Replying to [Tomichca]:

You will not find one who deliver COD !

Or in a bad case, deliver you something in the packet that you not want !

The Postman takes your cash during delivery, you open the package later and see scrap, but he can not give you the money back, because he only deliver a package against cash, not knowing what should be inside ! Open the package before payment is prohibited in postal law !

The best is Escrow.com, but also here you will not find a supplier !

Dear wilhelm

Many thanks for your contributions and feedbacks. As I said above I have never buy in China, I found a Hong kong's company
in Ali baba, their factory is located in Shenzen according to the web site it seems very correct. Everybody told me they are cheaters!
I don't know how to verify company background and do business there?
Thank

si tout le monde dit que c des voleurs,et bien c sur que c vrai.

mais si tu veut vraiment le confirmer,et bien il suffit de passer une commande(et tu verra qu'il t'enverrons riennnn!!! encore un peu de chance des copies).

la plupart des entreprises finlandais sur alibaba n'existe pas(ce sont des escros nigerians qui travaille avec l'angletterre ,moi meme je me suis fait avoir par c enculer).

to everyone involving in this forum, you can get cheap phones from hong kong but the things is on alibaba, you would not find such things. for those companies that sell phones for cheap are completely bs, they put it  at such a low price is because they know what you are thinking. they befriend you by sucking up to you, but in real life you are just another fish in the sea waiting to be caught. so what i suggest you, is to find a reliable agent in china to help you, if you want good business, or you can buy goods from your local wholesalers, save up, and then go to china to do more homework by attending business conference. that is my advice, business is not easy as you think. but once u get going u will be in the game.
