Brief Summery of China Scams:
China has a population of more than 1.3 billion, most of Chinese people and companies are honest and reliable enough, but a few scammers have greatly ruined our good image in the international market, so far we have checked out hundreds of business scammers for foreign companies in China. Most of the China Scams are located in Fujian province (covering Fuzhou, Xiamen, Putian, Jinjiang, Zhangzhou, Xianyou and Quanzhou city), Beijing, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Guilin and Shenzhen etc. Among them Putian seems to be the home for online-scammers in China. Putian is now notorious for business scammers online, there are hundreds of scammers from Putian have been disclosed and more Putian scammers are moving to some other big cities like Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Fuzhou etc in China after they get "rich" from scamming. Let's know more about Putian and Putian Scammers: 1. Where is Putian? PUTIAN, a small city in Fujian Province, on the west bank of the Taiwan Straits, is hometown to countless overseas Chinese. It is also where the Mazu Culture originated, and is site of the South Shaolin Temple. It's near to Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Jinjiang and Xiamen city in China. Currently Putian city has a population of around 3 million. 2. What is Putian famous for in China? Putian's pillar industries of shoe-making, brewing, electronics, garments, foodstuffs, and machinery have earned the city its epithets "Shoe City," "Beer City," and "Electronic City." The city's foreign-funded Jiatong Tire Co., Ltd., ranks first nationwide in this trade in terms of sales volume, and the Fujian Xuejin Beer Group Co., Ltd., is among the top ten in its field. Putian High-tech Industrial Park, which houses 149 enterprises from 13 countries and regions, is the largest electronic calculator production base in Asia. The Xinwei Electronics Co., Ltd., produces 400,000 electronic calculators daily, and its products are sold to Southern and Western Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Russia, making up 30 percent of the international market. Putian's agriculture has been industrialized, forming five major production bases in aquatic products, fruits, livestock, edible mushrooms, and vegetables. In 2001 and 2002, its annual output of loquats exceeded 30,000 tons, making up 40 percent of the national total, and ranking first in Fujian Province for ten successive years. Putian also takes the lead in raising eels. China's largest eel trading center is located in a street in Putian's Hanjiang New Port, which also serves as China's largest eel pricing and information center. 3. What can you buy from Putian ? Shoes, esp the sports shoes, replicas of Nike, and other brands etc; Electronic watches, electronic calculators; Dried fruits and beer etc. Please note that the exclusively authorized Nike factory is located in Taicang, Suzhou instead of Putian although Putian is very famous in shoe industry on the globe. 4. What can't you buy from Putian ? No international brand is available from Putian online, including Sony PS3, Nokia, Apple and any other well-known brands, there are too many scammers in Putian trying to cheat foreign buyers online with incredibly low prices for their so-called brands. But they normally send nothing after they receive the payment in China. 5.

Quoting from [gaba_llc]:### Scammers Yantai Huajian Sports Garments Shop Ships fake goodsI have recently been scammed by this company Yantai Huajian Sports Garments Shop
i was sent a performa invoice for 25 apple iphones 16gb 3g and i was shipped thte CECT s688 with in a fake apple iphone 16gb box and with a fake apple logo on it.
So i contacted them and they said i got what i paid for... and they willnot exchange it or give me a refund.. They said they did not care if i reported them becasue they are in good stnading with alibaba.
The onlty reason i trusted these people was because they were a GOld Supplier..
Alibaba how many more people must be scammed before you suspend this comapny and make them accountable for the fraud they are doing on the internet..
Selling fake iphones and telling the customers they are 100% genuine Apple iphones..
Soon the word will be out and everyone will know not to do business or use the alibab site to find suppliers...
This is the second time i have re scammed form your site in a week.. And i only dealt with people who Alibaba recommended.
I will be sending in my dispute shortly with all the supporting information.
But please deal with this fraudulent company or get them to make good for the fake products they are selling.
Thanks.
here is the details of the manager
yantaihuajian@yahoo.cn
It is eveident that being a gold supplier just makes it easier to rip people off
So called "gold supplier " tag helps swindlers fraud buyers so freely. Without it, any buyer would take proper care and due effort to protect himself or herself from lousy insects. What does mean "gold"? Very egoist name.

Since you think "Gold Supplier" is an egoist name, you think this is the only reason buyers being fraud ? Or those buyers (victims) who are mostly look for CHEAP branded goods, they are so ignorant ? Why not you can be their teacher in Alibaba give them a lesson where (no scammer) to buy legal original branded goods and must be cheaper than their homeland licensed distributors? I wanted to be your first student, I do not mind to pay you within my budget. Very similar, Olympic Gold Medals often attracted many cases of duped athlete, if your lesson is effective, I advise you to give lessons to those Athletes, for sure you could earn a lot of money from them.
Seem you know a lot of things, please do not just give critism without your solution or suggestion to those miserable victims waiting for your assistance not just comment, you are also the egoist one should be no problem to handle those Lousy insects, you know they are insects why not tell us or Alibaba (provided you know how Alibaba run their operation without loss) how to eliminate them once for all. Without the "Gold Supplier" probably without most of us here in Alibaba especially Free Members !!!
I am also looking for a good solution and suggestion for myself not being scammed in Alibaba too.
Thank you in advance.

Quoting from[leadesolutions]:I totally agree with you. I've been looking for a true company of electronics, laptops, to re sell in the us and export to costa rica, and I haven't found one yet. I'm doing my research of every single company that contacted me after placing an ad. I got like 40 emails with very "too good to be true" offers, but I know they are scammers. These forums really help. I think we should not only post "THE SCAMMERS" , but we should also post "THE GOOD SELLERS", so people can find them more easily.Quoting from[ukmcolombia]:WHAT IS THE POINT of using a website like ALIBABA as a portal for bussiness when THEY CAN NOT PROTECT YOU FROM SCAMMERS ......
the main reason people use these websites is to find TRUE AND HONEST sellers but even when you report to alibaba such scamms they do nothing about it ,,, is like they part of the scam ....
other websites at least verify their sellers ....ALIBABA SUCKS ,,,,
I find it hilarious that people who are trying to make a quick buck by illegally selling name brand products without a licence are complaining about being ripped off and scammed.If it wasn't for your own greed you wouldn't have been ripped off in the first place. You people do no research put no effort into marketing you just expect someone to hand you an iphone or something for $150 so you can sell it on Ebay for $600, while all you do is sit around on your scratching yourself. If you bothered to do a bit of work you would find that there are suppliers that can be trusted on this site. You will also find the majority of Chinese people very kind and helpful. Perhaps if you bothered to look further than name brand items you might find some items of real quality and ingenuity. You would also find there is better margin in those products too. But then again that might require some work and common sense something that always seems to be lacking in people who get taken for money.
I would like to know who you dealt with and had a success b2b if you don't mind. Thanks,

I think that Alibaba is a disgrace and should simply close down rather than create a channel for people to loose their money in china. Other countries are in economic lose state while Alibaba is defrauding people to enrish China's economy.
This month of September, I have made very concerted effort to get a reliable supplier of Laptops from China through Alibaba. Many suppliers sent price list to me. I finally researched one company, ChengduQingying Zhichen TradeCo., Ltd. which is a gold supplier in Alibaba. Everything seemed ok. They have this website www.seller88.com.cn. Their fake sales managers, Rita, Willin Ellie and Linqui have these email addresses. seller88a@yahoo.com.cn, seller88b@yahoo.com.cn, seller88c@yahoo.com.cn. Rita supplied me this bank detail for payment.
For the first order, after I paid them, they never shipped the item, they had stop responding to my emails, calls no longer go through. To worsen the case, their website has finally disappeared from Alibaba. How do i recover my money. I may never do so but certainly I will never deal with any China manufacturer and or supplier.
They are dubious, arrogant, unreliable and untrustworthy. Let everyone unite to kill this false chinese supplier and manufacturers that is fluorishing on stolen wealth.
ChengduQingying Zhichen TradeCo., Ltd Is a scam. And Alibaba is a structure for international fruad practices.
Quoting from [eutrade]:My questions to any one in the know regarding international law.>> Can Alibaba be deemed ,in law, to be complicit in potentially fraudulant business? in terms of them clearly allowing listings for products which are not possible to obtain ,via normal trading on this platform?
I think this is a very good question. I also think it worthwhile to have the answers to this and other questions decided.
It is certainly possible, as I found earlier today, at the very least to touch a nerve and have one's post removed:

Replying to [russgya]:
Alibaba must move quick and fight these fake companies
i don't why they don't act !!!!
Quoting from [junior79]:
this il with them
Alibaba is ultimate responsible for these scammers. I cannot fanthom one company would allow so many scammers to be legitimate sellers/trading companies unless Alibab is in on the deals! That's why these people are making billions while cheating the hard earned money of honest business people of the West. This makes me sick. We need to be united and shut down Alibaba. As it is the biggest scammer of all time.
