Ok look. We have all been scammed by alibaba.com and one or more of their companies. So lets talk about how to spot the bogus companies. First, never buy anything from a 1st year supplier. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Next make sure that they supply you with a copy of their export license from the chinese ministry. Then verify it. Then ask for a copy of their third party certificate from the original manufacturer. Then verify it. If all this checks out, call the phone numbers listed and make sure they are real and the person verifies they are the person you have been talking to. Next verify the address with the chinese postal service. I will explain why later. Also ask for the serial number (photo proof) of the exact item they are sending you along with a copy of the warranty card. Verify serial number with original manufacturer. On the invoice that they send you, be sure and add that under the consumer protection act, any product that is sent to you that was unsolicited is not fulfillment of the invoice and is non-returnable unless originally ordered products are received and they pay for the return shipping. Then and only then if you are comfortable do you send them money and only through paypal! It only takes 10 minutes for them to set up an account so dont believe the bs about how they have applied and are waiting for approval. Always use your cc for your paypal account for extra protection.
Now lets say you did all this and you still got scammed. What do you do? First call them and see if it was an honest mistake. Hahahaha! You can let them know that you will be contacting the chinese consulate in your country about this illegal activity as well as the original manufacturer about their certificate. Get the consulate to call or email them on your behalf. This usually will impose a level of "oh crap" into them and they may refund your money. If not ask the consulate to notify the chinese ministry and local police that you want to press charges (supply them with the confirmed address from earlier) and have them copy the supplier on that email. If none of this works then you are outta luck.
#1 fact... Alibaba will do nothing to help you and they will do nothing to the company.

Alibaba - scam-fraud
The new modus of chinese suppliers on chinese websites was to scam, cheat innocent good buyers around the world, by making different names and sites of their company. So that they will not be identified as a scammer or a fraud. Like yuanda international trade co., ltd. For instance, is not a genuine company but one of a hoax company. The people behind thi...

Alibaba mobile phone scam - am electronics
Hi everyone, i'm one of those people that sees an obvious scam email and laughs at how stupid it is. But I just got scammed. My gut feeling told me it was a scam, but the way in which it was done suckered me in. I'm sure no one wants to read my whole story so i'll just summarize what you need to know to know how to spot this scammer or others like him:
1. Do not use alibaba:
I thought it was a reputable site (and it is), but it is full of scams and in my opinion it is best to stay away from all-together. The particular merchant I was scammed by went under the alibaba merchant name amertronics oy (http://www.alibaba.com/member/fi105333337.html). he sells phones that are not yet released. Why did I believe this? Because he uses the credentials of a legitimate company called a.M. Electronics limited, which assesses the quality and operation of electronic devices. Therefore, since this company tests products before they are released, it seemed reasonable. But I was still very skeptical, so the individual (going by the name mark denis) said he would send me 3 phones of my choice and I only had to pay for one; when I recieved the package and saw that the products were legitimate, I would then send the payment for the other phones. I figured, even if it was a scam, I had more to gain than to lose, so I sent payment for one phone. The next day I was contacted by the "ceo" 'ahmed khan' of the company who "fired" this employee for making this deal, and insisted that I pay in full before he sends the package.in retrospect I realize that this was the same person.
2. Do not trust any company that only asks for western union or moneygram:
These were the only payment methods that were accepted. I rationalized this by thinking that this individual did not want to jeopardize the company he works for by leaving a paper trail for products that should not be sold.
3. Just because the company is real, does not mean this person is part of that company:
This thief sent me a certificate of incorporation with a registration number. The company name on the document said a.M. Electronics limited with registered no: sc183411. I cross-referenced this number with a uk business directory, and it checked out.in retrospect, I realize that this means nothing, as the company name and registration number are public information, and the scammer just used it to legitimize his operation.
4. Insist on a tracking number:
The tracking slip I received had the tracking number blotted out, and the individual insisted on payment before sending the number. Don't believe this will ever happen.
5. Do not accept shipments from any "private" couriers.
The scammer said that my package shipped via fedex was held up at customs (even though there was no reason that this would happen), and said he needed to ship it via a special private courier that can clear customs. This will of course cost you. Luckily I did some research and found that the "private courier" which he sent me a tracking number for is a known fake. The site is http://www.parcelcouriers-limited.com/ - this is a fraudulent site and this is the website that reported it: http://db.aa419.org/fakebanksview.php?key=34112. this site is hosted on many other domains, so if a private courier has the words "on demand collection and direct delivery" in the title, it is a mirror of this site. This courier claimed to be located at 79 king street, leigh lancashire, wn7 4lj uk. So any courier with this address is most probably a fraud as well.
6. If you are scammed, report it to the authorities:
You should report the crime to the payment processor (i.E. Western union), the local police department where the crime occured, and most importantly, the internet crime complaint center: www.ic3.gov
Minor details aside, that is all the important information. If anyone else has had something similar happen to them, please add it to the thread.

Just to belabor a couple of obvious things:
A shipped package that has been issued a tracking number will arrive eventually, regardless of whether one ever looks at the number or not. Therefore, there is exactly zero reason to withhold such a number as "leverage" against payment: revealing the (legitimate) number would make the buyer more likely to pay, and withholding it would not exert more control over an already shipped package.
Therefore, the only reason to withhold such a number is because no such package has been shipped.

Fedex clears packages through various country's customs every day. How would a secondary company gain the authority to intercept a package already in the custody of fedex - regardless of whether it was idling in a customs warehouse or not? Customs is not magically going to hand a fedex package to someone else. They would hand it back to fedex.

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.

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.
There is a good site on which there is constantly an updating of bases of swindlers to whom interestingly look there already more than 7500 swindlers and administrators constantly fill up base antiscammers.net
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!

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.

Alibaba - 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...
