Quoting from [outdoorfinatic]:
I suggest that we just don't do business with these chinese muther****ers. I've lost money also. I ordered from 3 different suppliers hoping that I'd minimize my risk and the first order sent me was some ugly a** shoes instead of the laptop I ordered. I should have known it was a scam when he didn't know when the product model came out. I haven't recieved the order from the second supplier yet, but I highly doubt it's legit because I asked him to send it to me via UPS and he chose EMS. Now he won't even return my emails and I haven't even received the products yet. The got lucky with the 3rd supplier because after much consideration and seeing where all this is headed, I was able to cancel my money gram payment because it wasn't picked up yet. Over all I lost almost $800.
I think that platforms like "Alibaba", "Trade Key", "DH Gate", "B2B Trade Holding" should have a feedback type of system like ebay. This way buyers can make a better buying decision. The "trade platforms" are a gold mine for scammers and these scammers are a gold mine for the "trade platforms" so I don't see my suggestion happening any time soon.
Be careful out there! It's a cruel world (especially with the Chinese).
I would like to add something to your point of view.
Yes, i fully agree with you. If we could check the comments we would probably come across scammers rarely.
My neighbour has been scammed by a Chinese company. I don't want to give their nam yet, as I still hope that he will receive either goods or money back. If not I would ask some people from the forum to help him. He doesn't speak english and they did with him what they wanted. I'm afraid he's lost 12,000USD. He's not an enterpreneur he's just a photographer, he borrowed lots of money from family and friends.
We are still waiting for some information from the company. If not we will describe the whole story on different forums, just to let people know about the scamers.
Quoting from [ukvisa]:China Inflatable Company in Wuhan Witholding B/L Help scam, scammers
We are dealing with an inflatable company, at this stage I don't want to expose them in the fear of reprisals.
We ordered one 40 ft container of inflatable boats from a company in china.
The price was agreed, quantity etc... and then they decided once they received the 50% deposit ($35,000) that they would up the price or they would not supply us. We ask for a refund and they said they would have to sell stock before they paid.
We agreed to the increase and then they said they can only supply a 20 ft, so again we agreed. The 20t has been sent (Paid in full) and now they won't release the documents unless we agree to take the second part of the order and pay 50% in advance and are withholding the B/L until we do so.
Has anyone had such a experience, or does anyone have any advise or help for us ?
I see alot of people here getting scammed for a few $$ this is a big amount to get screwed by so you can imagine how I feel right now !
hi, that is a huge sum of money. have you contacted any representative here in china to collect the money? I believe if you can come here or have somebody collect the money you can collect at least some of the money if ever the comapny is legitimate, Im too is a victim of chinese scammer to think im holding office here in china for the last 3 years now.

hi i have ordered 5 ps3's and a lcd tv from a company in china called ioffeb which a friend of mine has used for this past year and always recived his goods. But in my case i ordered these items on the 26th November 2008 and still havent seen any sight of them. firstly i was told to pay 300eur for duty in chinese customs then another 300eur for uk customs and then i was told that the goods were sent back to the company. Then they finally re-posted the items and gave me two tracking numbers with EMS and still i cannot track them. I also cannot get in contact with the seller as they are ignoring my emails. I have spent around 1700eur for these items and i have got a very bad taste in my mouth as i know ive been totally ripped off. The 2 numbers i have are EA979638128CN and EA979638131CN. if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated if you could contact me. Thankyou. barrashields@hotmail.co.uk
