Yes. I ordered some ghd hair straightners and some ipod touches. That will teach me not to check a company out before i buy from them.

Re: Alibaba Gold Member Scam
Thanks for posting this info it's really helpful. I have only just started dealing with Alibaba so I'll be super on my guard now .Luckily I only did a very small transaction just £50 to test the waters. The supplier was in Singapore and she was fine, provided a good service. I think it's Western Union who are largely at fault here, it's about time they were regulated more tightly to protect people against this kind of scam. Paypal is pricey but at least you can get your money back although I don't think Paypal is available in China. It is available to use with sellers from Singapore.

Re: Alibaba Gold Member Scam
for scammers on there, they should make a "golden scammer" status instead of "golden supplier"

Re: Alibaba Gold Member Scam
Hi itsz Abz - Newbie
Yep most of Alibaba.com are scammers and I nealy hot scammed after seeing where the message came from.
It was Nigera and I can't believe it because its said message send from Nigera and I was lucky and they were genurine gold member and Trust pass
That day I was very lucky becuase the money was almost ready to go to them but I am also sorry for those people who got scammed and we should take legal actions against Alibaba.com as there site is owned by China
Sorry alot to say from a Newbie

So, I hope others will learn from my mistakes.
