China does not sell Branded goods for wholesale purchases!

Save yourself the hassle of being scammed and stick with unbranded products.

The company`s website is: http://kangen.en.alibaba.com/

Below are some parts of my skype transcript and a few suspicious things stand out:

1. They produce a specific product, but still offer hot items like notebooks, ipods and dSLRs.

2. They want immediate payment, because a supposed "discount activity" is due to end tomorrow.

3. A company worker is online at 04:51 AM and "working hard".
SCAM written all over! Avoid!

I have done so much research on it I am becoming a pro at Alibaba scams. I would never buy electonics from China because 99% of them seem to be scammers. I recently wrote an articel about "Some Questions For Alibaba.com."
Hi Silver93350,

I would be very interested to hear more about your experience with regard to scams. Is there an email i can contact you on as i can't yet private message you due to your number of posts.

regards

Chris

Yes, you can't get brand products from China by low price. most are fakes. These products have special suppliers and distribution channel.
