In last week I correspond with "Jack" from Boteqi Trade Company: http://boteqi.en.alibaba.com/ about MacBook laptops.

He send me offer with nice pictures, and  attractive prices.

I asked him if he has more Apple assortiment - he said of course and send me full offer with iMac, iPhones, MAcBook Air, etc. and additionaly certificate, that his company SHENZEN BOTEQI TRADE COMPANY is authorized by Apple to wholesale distribution Apple computers in China. On certificate was name "Jason Israel", and I asked "Jack" who is Jason - he tell me: "  Hey the name of Jason Israel is the name of CEO of apple international .".

OK, but I'm enough clever to check on internet is this certificate is true or who is Jason, and I got Jason Israel site and original certificate http://www.greatknight.com/certs/Apple-Lan.jpg .

I asked Jason is he trully distributor of Apple in China, he wrote: Why would

someone from China tell anyone in Poland that a USA person could export

systems out of the USA - ONLY Apple is allowed to sell Apple overseas (With

I'm sure a few exceptions of international resellers).


Of course I never buy from boteqi.



I must add that SHENZEN BOTEQI TRADE COMPANY is Gold Supplier and TrustPass'ed member of alibaba since 2006.


This is poor if Alibaba have this kind of members :-(. There is a lot of suppliers who offers 500$ MacBook, but it must be fake!


P.S. I give this forum thread link to "Jack", maybe he want to reply ?

Risk is high. Sincere businessman is word of mouth of many people, try to transact them, they are sure also whom they will transact.

Hi,

I think it is safe to buy it from China. You have to remember that a lot of products are made in China from toys, clothes, shoes to technological gadgets.

Sorry for the $800 loss, but the prospect of actually getting your money back through legal means is nil. Should they have an equivalent of small claims court it may be possible, but then one would have personally met the seller to begin with.

I was also looking for a mac; I noticed one U.S. "company" categorized under distributor selling variety of electronic products.
I know for a fact that the claimed street address does not exist in NY, its telephone area code being Florida and the person has trouble spelling the word "avenue".
