scammers/fraudsters
This month I have been scammed out of $1100 on www.alibaba.com by a Gold Member. I have dealt and still deal with 2 genuine Alibaba sellers, so I do know that there are decent guys out there in China.
The details of the name of the scam person I sent money to was Deyou Chen in Putian City, Fujian, China. The fradulent company was Xiamen Zhongpin Technology and they are no longer registered on Alibaba, but I am sure that they are still on there using some other name.
Anyway, I have greatly analysed myself to see the signs that I could have picked up to indicate that I was dealing with a scammer/fraudster.
I have prepared a list below of all the current Gold Member sellers on Alibaba who I believe are scammers. There are a few clues:
1. These sellers list many items in many different product categories, normally the highly desirable items such as Laptops, Ipods, top or the range mobile phones, PDAs, GPS Navigation systems, Nike trainers/sneakers, bikinis, jewellery, watches, handbags... This is a big clue that they are out to scam you. Also, some of them state that they are a clothing company yet they are listing products for electrical goods...
2. They are all from Putian City, Fujian Province, China. I have since discovered that this place is rife with fraud.
3. They all request payment via Western Union or T/T (Telegraphic Transfer), where they have bank transfer details it is in the name of a person not a company name. (Please note that I do send money via Western Union to a company that I have been dealing with for 2 years in China, so sending money via Western Union does not necessarily mean that someone is scamming.)
4. They claim to have been trading since before 2007 yet they have only been registered on www.Alibaba.com since 2007. This is another sign of a scam.
5. You will frequently find them available to chat to on Alibaba's TradeManager, Yahoo Messenger or MSN at unsociable hours in China. (i.e when most people and legitimate businesses are sleeping in China they are up trying to ensnare you and get you to wire them money. They will give you excuses like they work hard - yes this is correct because they work hard to try to scam you!)
Some of these companies will send you a non-existent tracking no. after you have made payment. The sad thing is that alot of them have been reported to www.Alibaba.com for not sending anything and Alibaba has done absolutely nothing to remove these gold member scammers from their site. I feel like someone with more resources should take some legal action against Alibaba and www.yahoo.com for aiding and abetting rampant fraud. (Yahoo, www.Yahoo.com, owns part of www.Alibaba.com and they get a fee everytime someone registers as a gold member) The way I see it, Alibaba should require extra verification and proof of stock from people applying for Gold membership in Fujian Province, China.
So, I hope I will help prevent others from being scammed too by providing more information on the internet - information which I myself did not have before I sent my money to the female scammer.
The list in my next post contains some of the scammers I have identified. If you are lucky to get your order delivered it will be a fake, like a fake iPhone or a fake Nokia N95. I have read so many instances where people who ordered mobile phones, such as the Nokia N95 have received only what can be described as a toy phone.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
alibaba knowingly harbor scammers
Alibaba has had thousands of complaint and do not take the scammers off the site because their revenue is made up of probably 90% fraud sites.all the scammers have to do is pay them a premium like $3000 or so and they are listed gold suppliers.Alibaba makes no money by keeping your money safe but for the scammers taking it.why cause they pay a premium and we dont.im sure they have a few good companies but havent seen one yet.if you got ripped off contact our embesy in shanghai.talk to the fbi and secret service.just so you know they are laughing at us.especially when i was sent nothing for my money.we need to flash mob all the free posts sites possible.i do atlease four a day.

Fraud Company
These people are chinese thieves that take your money and you will never receive anything. To be on the safe side, do not buy anything from china unless you can be there in person to pay for it and pick up your items. There are more fraud companies in china than actual companies.
they join companies like applekingmace, maceapple.com minilaptops.com, Lin Fang Liu, Dongyang Xia Hebe Li Hebeli.
things to keep in mind if you want to buy anything from china and avoid any companies that want:
THEY WANT TO BE PAID WITH WESTERN UNION OR MONEY TRANSFER
NO COMPANY EMAIL.
CANNOT WRITE LEGIBLE ENGLISH
THEY SUPPLY MORE THAN 4 ITEMS AND THEIR PRICES ARE A FRACTION OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
THEY SUPPLY ORIGINAL BRAND NAME PRODUCTS.
STAY AWAY FROM ALIBABA.COM AND EC21.COM
They make up these names on a daily basis. Today they are Hong Kong Kunsheng, tommorow they are HK Kunsheng.
The are macelaptops.com today and tomorrow they are applekingmac.
Avoid china to be on the safe side.

You must do homework on the credibility of online suppliers before you buy, just as you would with real-life business partners. Alibaba is only a platform between the buyers and the suppliers, nothing more. They do not own inventory but simply connect buyers with sellers.
I strongly suggest buyers do some thorough research before dealing with online suppliers. Use escrow as a form of payment instead of Western Union is the easiest way to protect yourself. If you want to learn how to protect yourself, feel free to browse through Alibaba forum.

You deserved to get stung. If it sounds too good to be true then it is. $80 per unit was obviously going to be a con job.

Iwant to say for every bodythat i love sir
stay away from alibaba for business!
Alibaba has terrible and nasty customer service when it comes to responding to questions on why my accounts were closed. I have been scammed over 10 times on alibaba, and each time I asked alibaba for help, they told me, that since I was a free member, to deal with it on my own with the local police and police in the countries of the scammers, which I did. I have lost over $250,000 and it was never recovered. I contacted the scammers and told them I would report them, they threatened me back, and complained to alibaba. What did alibaba do? They cooperated with the criminals and closed my accounts!
Stay away from alibaba for business!

some scam people by shipping and others but sample cost.
remember it its to good to be true it usaly is.
if they ask for money up front its a scam.
if they ask you to pay shipping on a low cost product its a scam
welcome to the devils playground.
since november 2009 I made contact with Guangdong Jiangmen City Yetong Electric Vehicles Company Limited, through a supposed international executive (it was shown on their website as such) named Samuel Xia, our fist contact was through alibaba.com, finally on february we decided to buy and so we order 3 vehicles for a total of 7853 us dlls
After two weeks of having made the deposit, the supplier, represented by Yunjin Guan, says the person that was our contact (Samuel Xia) does not work on the company since a while ago, but he actually send us an email from the very same email account, ( samuel_jmyetong@126.com) saying he didnt review that email often because he had no time!even it was posted on their website as their international contact. He changed it after all my problem.
I need help. We made the transfer 2 weeks go for $7853 usdlls, which were the savings of our lives.
I cant believe Guan says the person has not been working with them since a while ago, yet his name and mobile phone were listed on the website
www.jmyetong.com, on the contact us section, it said clearly Samuel Xia international executive, mobile [protected]
We started negotiations via email since november last year, our first contact with this company was via alibaba, and from there they reached us through the same email account, samuel_jmyetong@126.com
and since then they didnt checked the email or change it or cancelled it. Until now that we made the transfer. It seems quite illogical to me.
We acced to make the transaction since the company is in their 2nd year gold supplier member
If he stopped working with them WHY DIDNT THEM :
1) post and add in alibaba and their website
2) erase his name and contact info from the website
3) cancel the email they showed on their website if this person was still in use of it, or change the password, anything
To me it feels like the supplier's fault, (if even they're the same) by all that am enlisting on top.
After Yunjin Guan knew about the scam, I asked him for help since I am pennyless now and cant go to China, and told him it seemed to me he had some responisbility. The answer he gave is that he was very busy all the time, so he never had time to change the contact info (until now) and that he doesnt have time to check all the employees´s info. I asked him for help to contact this person, and he said he wasnt local. He couldnt reach him. He is busy.
I really need help.

### them all...they are real mother ###ers and scammers, , , god with punish them like any things, , , there childrens willl born with leprosy and aids
You're an idiot and deserve to be scammed. After one time, maybe two or three times, of being scammed, you still continued using the site. You're a ###.
paid but received nothing
Do not deal with any companies listed on the alibaba site. After being scammed by one company dadexestore, no longer listed on the site (surprise surprise), by a jeng b chang, with follow up e-mails from mr mike brown and mr terry bestsellers (haha). Any sites including bestshop2 (or 3 or any other number) is most definitely a scam do not deal with these people. Do a google search on the addresses for most of the alibaba listed companies and they will be other businesses, local council offices, hospitals, cancer charities, properties listed for sale in estate agents or private residences or anything else other than what is claimed on alibaba.

# them all... they are real mother #ers and scammers, god with punish them like any things, there childrens willl born with leprosy and aids
I have found two companys on alibaba and so far it has work out fairly well but they do some strange things with the invoices they send with my orders
My average order runs about 4000.00 to 5000.00
Dollars but the declared value on the boxes says 300.00 to 500.00 I have told them to stop doing that but they keep on doing it if customs ever finds out im guessing im screwed bid time and will lose my whole shipment I recently contacted a company listed on alibaba www.alhamdgems.net or.com cant remember and ask for prices which they promply did in thier e-mail there was a lint to thier web site so I went to the site and immediatly got hit with a virus I tried again from my home computer and got hit again luckily my virus scanner stoped it I contacted the company and told them that because of thier stupidity they just lost a 5000.00 dollar order the next day an e-mail from them stated that the virus had been removed and I was now free to place my order ya like that is going to happen I sent a letter to alibaba and thier repl wasd worse they thanked me for the letter and stated that they had no way to check to see if that company had hidden virus in thier web site
Im guessing alibaba is a sizable company with more than one person working there im guessing that they must have a computer or two and they have no way of typing in one of thier clients address in and check the web site how #ing stupid am I to believe that crap alibaba doesnt give a flying # who they let advertise on thier site and they care even less about you and I its all about the money
Corporate greed at its finest screw you alibaba
I got scamed 2 time on Alibaba and many other people got scamed and more will be scam. China is the biggest scam country
I say don't ever do any transaction with out using Paypal, Credit Card or Escrow.
