Hi guys, I have been reading so much on this forum and Enough is Enough for all Scammers out there. Here are my experience and some updates on scam suppliers.
1) They gives you ridiculous pricing on the products you enquire.
**Please note that for
Apple Iphone 3GS the price for Authentic Wholesale are ranging from
650-800 USD depending on your quantity needless to say if you're ordering just sample orders. Anyone quote you the price less then that please report them here immediately.
2)
Some company names that scammers use are legit company. The only way to identify them is to find contacts of the company and give them a CALL! If you're dealing with large quantity a CALL to them won't cost you anything. Ask the company if there is anybody named (Your Contact) working in this company. If you don't feel right, find yourself another supplier.
3)
Scammers always like to be paid by Western Union. As they only have to give you their name, state and country its enough for you to make payment and for them to scam your money. So beware on Western Union payment.
** Please note: I have been scammed before, I gave western union a call and wanted to report a scam and what they told me was to make a police report in my country which is useless.
4)
Scammers like to use funny email address like they just type it anyhow just to get one email add. eg like hisksfn333 at hotmail dot com (China scammers have a fertish for this type of email add)
**Advice: Its better to deal with someone with a company email address, as such you can have more google results
**ADVICE**
- Before you start dealing with any company in the world. Just by
googling their company details is not enough. Its best that if they have any successful deals with any other trading companies. Even if you can't find your suppliers contact details at least you can get their details from the companies that have deal with them before.
-
Scammers goes all the way to make themselves look legitimate. But no matter how hard they try they are still scammers afterall. They ougth to be some information which you yourself cannot be verify. And in such cases, DON'T deal with them. It's better to profit lesser then lossing all your money.
- Have them
FAX you a copy of thier business license, Import/Export Document, Full Company contact details eg(Office number, fax number, office address etc)
NOT EMAIL YOU their business license. I can google or yahoo 100's of business certificates and import/export document if you want.
**Personal Note**
I'm not an expert/professional in import/export industry as i'm still learning everyday. But I'm a scammed victim myself (Who isn't). As such i would like to share my experience to everyone. Here i open a consulting thread on scam suppliers. It would be classic if i have lots of useful replies on scam companies etc. hope this threads will help others from getting scam.
