Replying to [theyscamme]:Yes, you are so right, I get repititious emails all the time, saying they want to build a strong, lasting relationship (business). I got suspicious when two supposed suppliers continuously sent these emails to me daily. I have now blocked them. There are some great suppliers out there, is just alot of work (all necessary) to weed out the scammers.[em19]

Alibaba must have a system of calification or points by agreement (like to ebay)... each deal "n" points... one company with many points is more real what a gold supplier... what do you think??

I don't agree it all, of course these 5 points are right, but not this little points,like the way you said the scammers, the customers themselves should have that ability to check, not all by what you said, they should check from any details, also up to the customers' experience. just for reference.

It is no use. Scammers will begin to use their fake identities to make "transactions" between "each other" and give themselves lots of points.


Due diligence is not only your task, it is also your very own interest to have first-hand knowledge about your partners. Of course you can invent many ways to transfer your responsibility to others, but in the end you will be the one who loses money. In this case you can blame whoever you want, your money is gone. The scammers get drunk and you have the hangover.

Quoting from [theyscamme]:


1. If your looking for Cheap Authentic Mobile Phones, Cheap Game Consoles, Cheap Laptops. I think you've come in the wrong place. There is no such things as Too Good to be True price for this thing. Most of people on eBay selling low low price maybe a victim of scam in the internet since most of eBayers now deal with dropshipping.




2. There are some dropshipping, light bulk, wholesaler that are approved by eBay, this is advisable... though membership to this services are not free.




3. Deal with Company that you can verify, Alibaba is a home of millions thieves so be sure before you make a deal with them. Find a way to verify them.




4. Most Scam will keep repeating that their price are good! this is the way they distract your doubts. Real company mostly focus on product quality if you are dealing with them, NOT the PRICE <<< NOTE: After I post this, some scam may read this so they might change the way they sell.




5. If you find they are unprofessional, this is a sign of risk, If you find them that they are rushing you to buy their product, beware. Online Marketing is not that simple. Real Online Marketeer should even send you some brochure of their product directly to your home. Real Online Marketing promoting all of their product not just the product your interested in. They should have all resources you need. Certification, Samples... they must be prepared to whatever you need. They should not make an Alibi. You are the customer. If they are real they will do their best to make you us one of their client. Don't trust this line > "We want to build a long term relationship with you".

I'm not agree with you, some of your views are extreme.

dear friend,

the article is wonderful. i am importer of embroidery machines from india. i have given request for quotation from number of suppliers. for the same product i got a rates from different supplier and there is almost 30% difference between most of the suppliers rates.

yes, your article i bit true, there are some suppliers who try hammering their product by showing that their price is lowest and there are some quality supplier who stick to their price and does not waste time unnecessarily.

Yours info is true.
