The gold and trustpass suppliers which sell low price original branded products in alibaba must be scamers.For example,they offer Dell,Sony,HP,Apple,laptop,etc.And iPhone,Nokia,Sumsung cellphone,etc.They never send you what you have ordered.They might send you one pair of shoes or one pcs of T-shirt.JUST BE CAREFUL!!!
The frauds usually use the following ways to make you get ripped off.
1.Ridiculous,weird and low price to attract you.Such as they sell Dell XPS M1730 by $400,even $300.Some frauds will tell you the 1/2,1/4 or 3/4 of the real price to attract you.If you ask them why it’s so cheap.They will tell you their products are contraband(gray import).They don’t have to pay the tax.Or They claim they got the goods from factory directly.That’s why they are so cheap.Then some buyers will easily get trapped.Don’t believe it.That’s bullsh it.![]()
2.They claim that they are the gold and trustpass supplier in alibaba.Yes,they are the gold and trustpass suppliers.But they can easliy get the so-called "gold and trustpass" supplier authentication.![]()
3.They usually use female name to attract the buyer.And always use a photo of sexy or beatiful girl on their TradeManager,MSN and Yahoo Messenger even they are males.![]()
4.They just accept Western Union,Moneygram,T/T for payment way.That is too say,they just get the money first.After they get the money,they won't care about you.If you wanna their b ank account.Some company will tell you if they use b ank account they will pay the tax.They will ask you to pay more.Actually,they don’t have a company b ank account at all.Some buyers don’t wanna pay more.So they would like to use that one of 3 payment ways finally.Then they got scammed.![]()
5.Some fraudulent companies sell the copy products as original products.Mostly they sell copy mobile phone,handbag,shoes,garments.They can't sell copy laptop and camera.Because to produce laptop and camera is needing high technology.So some companies claim that they have copy branded laptop.They must be a fraudulent company.The don't have it at all.![]()
6.If you have ordered some original branded products.They will try every way to delay the time to send you what you ordered.Because they don't have any original product.They will say your package is kept in the Custom.Or the delivery company lost the package.Or they just give you the fake tracking number.Then you just wait and wait......,wait one week,one month,two month......,Or they will say your package is kept in the Custom,you need to pay more moeny for the tax.(why not they tell you there is tax to the Custom before you dealed with them).If you get that kinda news.Then you will know you have got ripped off.As I know.The fraud company will be removed out from alibabaafter they get 1-3 report letters in alibaba.That's why they will try every way to find the excuses not to send you the package.![]()
7.They usually don't live where the address in the company's website.They usually live in another city.If you are in China and want their address.Don't go there.It's not exist.Even if it's exist.They are not there.![]()
8.There are many free memebers are a frauds.The frauds who are free members are from Europe,Japan,Indonesia,America,etc.Especially Indonesia.![]()
The methods toverify if a company are a fraud or not.
1.If you still want to buy the original braned products.Just ask them to show you the export Licence.If They can't show you.It might be a fraud company.If a company do show you,they might get a fake export certificate.They can use photeshop to make it so real.Some buyer request the pictures of the original branded products. The company will show them.Then some buyers will believe it.But the fraud company just got them on the internet.So Just BE CAREFUL.
2.You can pretend to be in China.Or you can pretend to have a Chinese friend in China.Tell them you or your Chinese friend will visit their company.If they don't speak to you anymore.It must be a frand company.Because they are afraid of Chinese people.Chinese people can easily call the police.But some frauds know you just want to investigate them.They know you are not in China.And they will tell you:Welcome to our company.Then tell you address where you can't find them.
3.You can sign up a trademanager ID from another country with another name.(You might think you can't sign up a trademanager ID from another country.But you can.Just try it.)Then just use your two IDs to ask them one product.Such as originaliPhone 3G 8GB.If they sell it to your first IDat $200.Then after one or two days to ask them if they will sell it to you at $100 with your another ID.(But don't ask them with your another ID right away.Because they might find out you arethe same person.)If they will give you at $100.They must be a big scammer.As long as they can get the money.They can give you at $50 or $30 or even $1.
4.If the company’s website(except the one in alibaba) is very simple.Such as just have some pictures of shoes,garments,mobile phone,laptopetc.
5.If they sell everything.Such as electronics,garments.They must be a fraud.If you say every model of the products.They will say “YES”.How can a real company can supply everything.
6.If they work in the night.They might be a fraud.You should know your time is different from China.A company usually has several Trademanager IDs.You can try to see them all.If they all on line in the night.And they sell international original branded products.They are absolutely frauds.
7.Most of the fraud companies just have 1 year in alibaba.You can see it on the left up side in their company’s website in alibaba.
8.Try to ask every staff of the company for one product.If it is a fraud company you will get many different prices.And the price is a big difference.
9.Go to google to search forthe company's nameand see if it’s a fraud.Also you can go to community in alibaba to search for it.
10.Ask them give you the information of their clients in your country.Ifthey give it to you,try to ask the person's experience which he or she dealed with the company.If their products are so cheap,they must have lot's of clients all over the world.If they can't give you or just give you fake information.They must be frauds.
If you still don't believe what I said.You can use above ways to test some companies what I listed in the following posts.And there are many frauds not justin alibaba,but also in Tradekey and Made-in-China,etc B2B website.After the fraudulent companies get removed in B2B website.They will just spend $2900(in alibaba)to open another fraudulent company to continue to scam peple.From December 1st 2008 to November 14th 2009.I have updated 366 fraudulent companies.Some of them were removed.Some of them are still cheating people in alibaba.Let's figure it out:If one fraudulent company cheat US$30,000.then From December 1st 2008 to November 14th 2009,the fraudulent companies can cheat US$10,980,000.In RMB,It's 74,664,000.It's a huge number.Huh?Plus,there are many fruadulent companies I haven't added. List82more Fraudulent companies on November 14th 2009.Gosh! So many! Be careful!
Do you guys want to see the frauds?I want to post two frauds' photoes here,who are from Weihai Rongtong Material Co., Ltd.The scammed a people from Poland.He was scammed 460 USD.I will keep adding the frauds'photo.If you find or have got any frauds' photo.Hope you post here. Anyway.Never think there is free lunch.If you have already got scamed.If you want to loose your indignation.You can keep calling alibaba and writing the report letter to alibaba.The email address is tradesecurity@service.alibaba.com and alibaba@service.alibaba.com. If the company get 1-3 report letters.The company will get kicked out from alibaba.If you want to let that fraud company down very soon.You can write 1-3 report letters in 3 days.Or if you have a Chinese friend in China.Just ask him or her to call that company and tell them if you don’t refund the money I will call the police.Or You can easily get their IP address in alibaba(in their inquiry orquotation).Tell alibaba their IP address,Threaten them with the IP address.Before It get kicked out from alibaba you might get your hard-earned money back.

Maybe they are a scam, maybe not, but I'm not going to put myself on the risk to find out on hard way, anyway thanks again Jack.
It's not maybe they are a scam.It's absolutely they are a scam.
Hello all,
I have been talking with this company for a couple of weeks now. Up until we started to discuss payment arrangements they said they only except money transfers. Now that instantly sent up a red flag for me. I even asked if we could use an escrow service, that I have even agreed to pay a little more for their products to help pay for their cost. They said no because they have had a bad experience. Then I started to do some research about this company. If you do a Google search of their email address etrade999.service@hotmail.com it comes up with Guangzhou guide trading Co., Ltd on www.tradekey.com website. So after this I emailed them back and ask them what assurances do I have that this not a scam. They sent me several tracking numbers from EMS shipping company. I went to the EMS website and looked at all of them, but I don't know if they can falsify tracking number or does this mean they are legit? Any suggestions on what I should do?
