Resellers tend to have offices of people surfing Alibaba etc. all day long trying to contact people. Conduct a whois search on the supplier’s web-address. Verify the information.
Please don't overanalyze something that was meant to be hypothetical.We are a big supplier in China,but as a salesman,we can use our privates email to contact customers.Your others points I agree except the 2nd point.

I would like to reiterate the origional point. Never, EVER, deal with a large manufacturing company that uses "free" email accounts like hotmail, msn, gmail, etc as a primary point of contact. The chances are they arent who they say they are.
